The University 
and the Campus 



Dedicated to "the advancement of letters, science, and art," Rice University 
is private, independent, nonsectarian, and coeducational. It includes among its 
academic divisions both undergraduate and graduate studies in humanities, 
social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, architecture, administrative 
sciences, and music. 

Highly talented students with diverse interests are attracted to Rice by the 
opportunities for creative learning. They encounter rewarding student-faculty 
relationships, options for individually tailored programs of study, independent 
research, cooperative activities with other institutions in the nation's fifth 
largest city, and the unique experience of residential colleges. 

The majority of Rice's 2700 undergraduate students live on campus in the 
eight residential colleges. The colleges have independent student governments, 
plan social functions, field intramural teams, and sponsor innovative academic 
courses, visiting distinguished speakers, plays, and other functions. In each 
college the college master and approximately eighteen faculty associates act 
as advisers and mentors to the students. This system provides students and 
faculty with a style of living in keeping with the tenets of fine education. 

Rice's approximately 900 graduate students work closely with faculty 
members who are eminent in their fields and conduct innovative research to 
extend the horizons of current knowledge. Graduate students live off campus. 
The Graduate Student Association organizes and funds regular social activities 
and provides graduate students with a separate organization to represent their 
interests within the university. 

A look through the archway of Lovett Hall shows even the casual visitor 
why the 300-acre Rice campus is widely acclaimed for its dignified yet casual 
beauty. Approximately forty permanent buildings are conveniently grouped 
in quadrangles under graceful live oak trees. The city's largest stadium, the 
972,000-volume Fondren Library, the Media Center, the gymnasium, the 
computer center, drama and musical presentations make Rice "behind the 
hedges" a community unto itself. Yet only three miles from downtown Houston, 
Rice students enjoy all the academic, government, business, shopping, enter- 
tainment, and cultural advantages of a major metropolitan center.

Chairs and Lectureships 

Throughout its history, Rice University has been especially fortunate in 
the number of its friends and benefactors. Some of these are memorialized in 
the names of buildings and special physical facilities; others have generously 
provided for the enrichment of the university's intellectual life by establishing 
chairs and lectureships either on temporary or permanent bases. Rice takes 
pleasure in recognizing on these pages some of these contributors to its

Undergraduates 



Curricula, Majors, and 
Degree Requirements 



The Bachelor of Arts degree at Rice is awarded with a designated major in 
some field of architecture, the humanities, social sciences, science, or engineer- 
ing. The general university requirements for the B.A. degree, as well as the 
options open to students in their choice of majors, are described below. 

The Bachelor of Music is offered by the Shepherd School of Music only in 
conjunction with the Master of Music, both of which are awarded simulta- 
neously on completion of a five-year program of professional studies. 

The various engineering departments also offer the Bachelor of Science 
degree which, like the B.A., normally requires four years for completion. 

For students interested in teaching in the secondary schools, a program of 
teacher training leading to state certification may be completed together with 
the Bachelor of Arts degree. This program is administered by the Education 
Department. 

Programs that satisfy the requirements for admission to medical, dental, 
or law school are also available in conjunction with various majors. 

Degree Requirements and Majors 

In March, 1978, the faculty of the university approved changing the desig- 
nation of graduation requirements, major requirements, and distribution 
requirements from semester courses to semester hours. The change becomes 
effective in the academic year 1978-1979. Students enrolled at the university in 
a degree program prior to or at the beginning of the fall semester 1978 have 
the option of completing the university and major requirements for their 
degree according to either semester courses or semester hours. All students 
entering after fall 1978 will fulfill the semester-hour requirements. In the 
information that follows, as well as in the requirements for departmental 
majors listed under Courses of Instruction, university and departmental 
requirements are stated in semester hours, followed in parentheses by the 
corresponding requirement in semester courses. No course equivalence is 
shown for the regulations governing the president's honor roll, academic 
probation, and academic suspension since these have been calculated by 
semester hours in the past. 



49 



50 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES 

University Credit Requirements 

Students completing a Bachelor of Arts degree must pass a minimum of 
120 semester hours (forty semester courses of at least 3 semester hours with 
associated laboratories and tutorial sections). In fulfilling all university and 
major requirements, many students will complete more than this minimum. 
Within their total program, students completing a Bachelor of Arts degree in 
any discipline other than architecture must pass a minimum of 60 semester 
hours (twenty semester courses of at least 3 semester hours) in addition to 
major requirements specified by their department. Architecture majors must 
pass 38 semester hours in addition to their major requirements. 

To fulfill the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in one of 
the several branches of engineering with the exception of chemical engineering, 
students must pass no fewer than 134 semester hours. Students fulfilling the 
requirements for the Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering must pass up 
to 137 semester hours, depending on accreditation requirements. 

For either bachelor's degree, no less than 42 semester hours (fourteen 
courses) completed in fulfillment of the degree requirements must be on an 
advanced level (numbered 300 or higher). 

After students have fulfilled university distribution requirements and the 
requirements for a designated major (see below), all remaining courses in 
their degree programs are free electives. 

University Distribution Requirements 

The university distribution requirements are based on the belief that an 
undergraduate education should include some acquaintance with areas of 
study outside the student's field of specialization. Many students fulfill most of 
their distribution requirements in the first two years, and because they have 
explored several different areas, they are better prepared to decide on a major 
at the end of the sophomore year. 

Before graduation each student must have completed three or more 
semester hours (one or more courses) from at least five of the six subject cate- 
gories listed below, and at least twelve semester hours (four courses) from each 
pair of subject categories designated by a roman numeral. 
I. 1. Literature and language 

2. Fine arts, music, philosophy (except logic), and religion 
II. 3. Economics, history, and political science 

4. Anthropology, behavioral science, linguistics, psychology, and 
sociology 
III. 5. Biological science, physical science, and engineering 
6. Mathematics, mathematical sciences, and logic 

Skills 

English Competency Requirement. Every Rice student must demonstrate 
competency in English comprehension and composition. This requirement is 
satisfied by passing the English competency examination administered by the 
English Department to all entering students during orientation week. Students 
who fail to pass this test are required to enroll in English 103, a one semester 
self-paced course in composition which carries both degree and distribution 
credit. Satisfactory completion of this course will then fulfill the English com- 
petency requirement. English 103 is also open, space permitting, to students 
who have passed the English competency examination but wish to improve 
their writing skills further. 



CURRICULA AND DEGREES 51 

Physical Education. Each student must pass two semester courses in basic 
health and physical education. These do not count toward the semester hours 
(or courses) required for a degree. 

Departmental Majors and Honors Programs 

Each spring, on Majors Day. freshmen and sophomores are excused from 
their morning classes to visit the faculty and upperclass students in depart- 
ments they are considering for their majors. Students normally designate a 
major in March prior to preliminary registration for the junior year. The 
department or title of the major is then noted on the student's transcript, and a 
faculty adviser is assigned in the major department. Introductory courses 
taken in the freshmen or sophomore years may be counted in fulfilling the 
major requirements even before formal designation of a major has been made. 

Students should be aware that physical limitations of some departments 
occasionally make it necessary to limit the number of majors admitted to a 
particular department. 

Students are always free to change majors in the junior or senior year, 
although this may entail one or more additional semesters at the university. 

For information on the specific requirements for any departmental major, 
students should consult the departmental listings under Courses of Instruction 
and seek the advice of a faculty member in the department. 

In establishing an undergraduate major for the Bachelor of Arts degree 
departments must specify a minimum of eighteen semester hours (six courses) 
for majors in the humanities and social sciences and twenty-four semester hours 
(eight courses) for majors in science. No department may specify more semester 
hours than the number equivalent to twenty courses of three or four semester 
hours each (related laboratories, required courses, and prerequisites included), 
the total not to exceed eighty semester hours. 

In establishing a departmental major for the degree of Bachelor of Science 
in one of the various branches of engineering with the exception of chemical 
engineering, no deparment may specify more than 92 semester hours (required 
courses, prerequisites, and related laboratories included). In establishing the 
departmental major for the B.S. in chemical engineering, the department may 
specify no more than the semester hours necessary to meet the requirements of 
the accrediting agency, up to a maximum total of 104 semester hours (required 
courses, prerequisites, and related laboratories included). 

Undergraduate honors programs are open to qualified students, with 
departmental approval, in several departments. Through small classes and 
seminars, independent reading or research projects, and close contact with 
faculty research, students in an honors program may accelerate study in their 
major fields, and in some cases enter graduate courses. Information on the 
qualifications for admission and the content of honors programs may be found 
in the departmental listings under Courses of Instruction. 

Areas of Study 

Architecture 

Students interested in architecture may choose from several options, 
including programs leading to either the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of 
Architecture degree. The Bachelor of Arts requires four years of study with a 
major in either architecture or architectural studies. The Bachelor of Architec- 
ture requires six years, with the fifth year being an in-service preceptorship in 
a professional office.

54 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES 

The School of Architecture encourages students to weigh their educational 
objectives and to choose among alternative courses of study offered. Further 
information on these programs may be found under Architecture in the Courses 
of Instruction section. 

Computer Science 

The computer science program is under the joint sponsorship of the depart- 
ments of Electrical Engineering and Mathematical Sciences with most of the 
courses in this area listed by both departments. Students wishing to specialize 
in computer science may earn a bachelor's degree by majoring in either depart- 
ment, and double majors are common. Both departments also offer a profes- 
sional master's, a research master's, and a doctor of philosophy degree. 

The program is divided into three subject areas: (1) hardware engineering, 
(2) software systems, and (3) discrete system modeling. Students will take 
courses from all three of these areas as well as related courses in engineering 
and mathematics. Detailed information on courses and degree requirements 
can be found under Mathematical Sciences or Electrical Engineering in the 
Courses of Instruction section. 

Engineering 

The George R. Brown School of Engineering at Rice offers through its five 
departments opportunities for a variety of curriculum and degree choices. 
Students interested in the engineering profession may major in chemical 
engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, 
or materials science for both undergraduate and graduate degrees. They may 
also take a double major combining environmental science with another science 
field. These programs lead to either the B.A. or B.S. degree, and may qualify 
students for further study leading to a fifth-year professional master's degree, 
a Master of Science degree, or a doctorate. 

During the first two years engineering students should consult with the 
chairmen of the departments of interest or with the special freshman and 
sophomore advisers appointed by each department for information and ad- 
vice about details of the programs and choice of electives, and about engineer- 
ing as a profession. 

Students may take a program of studies during their freshman year which 
satisfies the first year requirements for all engineering departments. A listing 
of these courses and other information regarding the first two years of study is 
found under Engineering and Applied Science in the Courses of Instruction 
section of this catalog. Degree requirements and advanced courses are listed 
under the separate departmental listings in the same section. 

Humanities and Social Sciences 

Majors are offered in anthropology, art and art history, behavioral science, 
biology, classics, economics, English, French, German, health and physical 
education, history, legal studies, linguistics, managerial studies, mathematics, 
philosophy, political science, psychology, religious studies, Russian, sociology, 
and Spanish. 

The requirements of each major may be found in the departmental 
listings under Courses of Instruction and are also available from department 
chairmen and from the Registrar's Office. The interdepartmental majors in 
legal studies and managerial studies are described below. 



CURRICULA AND DEGREES 55 



Legal Studies :i 

The program in legal studies is intended to offer undergraduates an 
opportunity to obtain understanding and insight into the development and 
character of modern society and modern values, through the study of the 
humanistic and social science parameters of the law and of its associated 
institutions. It is an interdepartmental program leading to the degree of 
Bachelor of Arts. 

Courses are drawn from the departments of Anthropology, Economics, 
Environmental Engineering, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychol- 
ogy, and Sociology. The degree may be taken as a terminal degree or in 
preparation for law school or graduate work in one of those disciplines. 
Students contemplating graduate work are strongly advised to consider the 
possibility of a double major. Students should consult the Legal Studies section 
under Courses of Instruction for the list of requirements. 

The administration of the program is in the hands of a committee consisting 
of representatives of the departments of Economics. History. Philosophy, and 
Political Science. Professor Baruch A. Brody, chairman of the Department of 
Philosophy, is chairman of this committee. Students interested in Legal Studies 
should see Professor Brody, who will assign them an adviser closely related to 
the area within legal studies that they wish to emphasize. 



Managerial Studies 

The managerial studies program is intended to prepare students for 
management careers in either business or government. The program is inter- 
departmental and leads to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, either as a terminal 
degree or in preparation for graduate professional studies in accounting, law, 
business, or public management. Courses are drawn from the departments of 
Accounting, Economics, Mathematical Sciences, Political Science, and 
Psychology. 

The program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive under- 
standing both of the environment in which business firms operate and of the 
tools employed by management in making decisions. To major in managerial 
studies, students must complete forty-five semester hours of approved course- 
work in the following subject areas: (1) accounting, (2) economics, (3) finance, 
(4) statistics, (5) quantative methods, (6) computer programming, (7) business 
law, and (8) industrial-organizational psychology. A list of approved courses is 
available from the Office of the Dean, Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of 
Administration, 232 Herman Brown Hall, or from the managerial studies 
program advisers in each of the participating departments. 

An honors program is available in managerial studies. This program is 
designed (1) to provide students with the opportunity to enrich and expand 
their knowledge of the managerial disciplines by means of specified advanced- 
level coursework and/or independent research and writing, and (2) to provide 
an opportunity for the recognition of students who have demonstrated unusual 
competency in managerial studies. 

The managerial studies program is administered by a committee con- 
sisting of representatives from the departments of Accounting, Economics, 
Mathematical Sciences, Political Science, and Psychology. Dean Robert R. 
Sterling, of the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Administration, is chairman 
of this committee. Student records for all managerial studies majors are main- 
tained in the Jones School. The managerial studies program coordinator assigns 



56 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES 

students an adviser closely related to the area in which they intend to specialize. 
Students should consult with their adviser as early as possible to ensure estab- 
lishment of an appropriate plan of study. 

Music 

The Bachelor of Music is offered by the Shepherd School of Music only in 
conjunction with the Master of Music, both of which are awarded simultane- 
ously upon completion of a five-year program of professional studies. All 
music majors are required to take the school's core curriculum, which spans the 
first five semesters. 

The final two years are devoted to specialization and can be entered only 
upon passing qualifying examinations administered in the fifth or sixth semes- 
ter. Students in the specialized curriculum may elect to be performance 
majors or applied majors (composition, conducting, music history, theory). 
Students specializing in conducting may require a sixth year to complete the 
degrees. 

More detailed information about the Shepherd School and the require- 
ments for degrees is given under Music in the Courses of Instruction section of 
this catalog. 

Natural Sciences 

Majors included in this program are biochemistry, biology, chemical 
physics, chemistry, geology, mathematical sciences, mathematics, and physics. 
The requirements for each major are outlined under departmental listings in 
Courses of Instruction. 

Other Options: Area, Double, Interdisciplinary Majors 

In deciding on a major, students are encouraged to select a course of study 
directed toward their personal goals and abilities. Several options are available 
besides the normal major in most departments. Further information on these 
may be found in the departmental listings. 

1. Double majors that fulfill the major requirements of two departments. 
The two majors may but need not be in related fields: for example, 
economics/math science, or biology/art and art history. 

2. Interdepartmental and interdisciplinary majors. Interdepartmental 
majors are offered in chemistry with materials science and physics, and in 
electrical engineering with biology. Behavioral science, legal studies, lin- 
guistics, and managerial studies are interdisciplinary majors, combining 
courses taught by faculty from several departments. 

3. Areas of concentration within departmental majors. Certain majors, in- 
cluding architecture, geology, German, physics, and Spanish, but not 
limited to these, have a choice of different areas of concentration with 
different course requrements within the department major. 

4. Area majors. Instead of selecting an established departmental major or 
double major, students have the option of developing an area major which 
is closer to their particular interests and career goals. Whereas double 
majors must conform to the requirements of both departments, an area 
major is a single major combining courses from two or more departments 
which form a clearly coherent program with its own major requirements. 

An area major is normally initiated by the student and worked out in 
conjunction with faculty advisers from each of the departments involved. 
Together they must agree on a title, which will then designate the area 



CURRICULA AND DEGREES 57 

major on the student's transcript, followed by the names of cooperat- 
ing departments: for example. Problems of the Contemporary City (archi- 
tecture, sociology, environmental science, and engineering). The require- 
ments for each area major are approved by the faculty advisers, who are 
jointly responsible for the validity and acceptability of the program as a 
degree plan. In addition, students who elect to take an area major must also 
complete university semester-hour (or course) and distribution re- 
quirements. 

Though students normally choose their majors at the end of the 
sophomore year, it is often possible to change from a departmental major 
to a related area major in the junior year. Students who might want to 
develop an area major but are uncertain which departments to approach, 
or students who wish to change from a departmental major to an area 
major, should consult with the coordinator of academic advising. The 
registrar routinely routes all application forms for area majors through 
the coordinator's office for certification. 

Premedical, Prelaw, and Other Preprofessional Programs 

In addition to the preprofessional and professional programs offered by 
Rice in accounting, architecture, engineering, and music, a student may pur- 
sue a program which will satisfy the requirements for admission to graduate 
professional schools in business, dentistry, diplomacy and foreign affairs, 
finance, health science, law. or medicine. Information about preparation for a 
career in business or finance can beobtainedfrom the dean of the Jesse H.Jones 
Graduate School of Administration. 

The premedical adviser counsels students interested in premedical or 
predental studies and other areas of the health sciences. Those interested in 
legal studies should consult the prelaw adviser. Both advisers may be contacted 
through their offices in the RMC courtyard. 

Premedical and Predental Programs. The entrance requirements of 
medical and dental colleges of the United States are limited to a relatively few 
courses: one year each of general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, 
mathematics, biology, and English, and laboratories required by the foregoing 
science courses. Because medical and dental schools show little or no prefer- 
ence for any one major, students planning a medical or dental career have the 
opportunity to choose their major solely on the basis of their interests and 
capabilities. They should keep two objectives in mind: (1) to secure a broadly- 
based cultural background and (2) to master the necessary skills for an alterna- 
tive career. Those who elect to concentrate in the sciences or engineering will 
automatically satisfy most of the entrance requirements. Students concentrat- 
ing in the humanities need to make some adjustments in their study plan in 
order to fulfill the entrance requirements. Premedical and predental students 
are advised to discuss their plans with the premedical adviser. 

An undergraduate major in bioengineering offered by the Electrical En- 
gineering Department is specifically designed for those students who want to 
combine a future career in the health sciences with a basic preparation in 
electronics, systems analysis, and control theory. A specific program in prepa- 
ration for medical school is included. Details are available from the chairman 
of the department. 

In a few cases students may be granted admission to the Baylor College of 
Medicine or another accredited medical school at the end of the junior year. 
Through prior arrangement with the Committee on Examinations and 
Standing, a student may become a candidate for the B.A degree at Rice upon 



58 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES 

completion of the M.D. degree. For details of the requirements and procedure, 
an interested student should consult the premedical adviser. 

Prelaw Studies. The academic requirement for admission to law school is 
satisfied by all degree programs offered at Rice. While many students major in 
history, political science, economics, accounting, or legal studies as a base for 
prelaw studies, no law school specifies particular courses or curricula as pre- 
requisite to admission. Most require only a baccalaureate degree and the Law 
School Admission Test. 

In a few cases students may be granted admission to the Columbia Univer- 
sity School of Law or another accredited law school at the end of the junior 
year. Through prior arrangement with the Committee on Examinations and 
Standing, a student may become a candidate for the B.A. degree from Rice upon 
completion of a law degree. For details of the requirements and procedure, an 
interested student should consult the prelaw adviser. 

The Prelaw Handbook, published by the Association of American Law 
Schools and the Law School Admission Council, states that pre-legal education 
should develop oral and written comprehension and expression, creative 
thinking and critical understanding of human values, and that no one disci- 
pline is uniquely concerned with those objectives. Therefore, the prelaw stu- 
dent should strive for development of his or her own capabilities and thorough 
concentration in the areas of greatest interest. Interested students should 
contact the prelaw adviser early, preferably in the first year, for assistance in 
designing a suitable program. The Prelaw Handbook and catalogs of many 
leading law schools are available in the Prelaw Office in the RMC courtyard. 

Reserve Officers' Training Corps Programs 

Rice University offers two Reserve Officers' Training Corps programs — 
the Army and the Navy. These programs seek to train college students so that 
upon graduation they may qualify as commissioned officers in a component of 
the United States Army, Navy, or Marine Corps. The Navy has two categories 
of midshipmen, one working toward a reserve commission and the other 
toward a regular commission. The Army normally awards reserve commis- 
sions: however, certain selected distinguished military students may be offered 
commissions in the regular Army. 

Any student suspended by the university for academic failure or other 
cause is immediately disenrolled from the ROTC programs. Any student 
performing unsatisfactory work in military science or naval science courses, or 
possessing unsatisfactory officerlike qualities, may be disenrolled from ROTC 
programs regardless of the quality of academic work. Enrollment in the ROTC 
programs at Rice University is normally made at the beginning of the fall term. 

Students completing the full program in either Military Science or Naval 
Science will be granted the equivalent of two course credits toward their 
degree. Such credit is not attached to specific courses, and no other degree 
credit will be given for Military Science or Naval Science programs. 

Additional information regarding the ROTC programs and scholarships 
available is given under Military Science and Naval Science in the Courses of 
Instruction section of this catalog. 

Teacher Certification 

Programs of study are offered to fulfill the Texas state requirements for 
teaching certificates on the secondary level in biology, chemistry, earth science, 
economics, English, French, German, health education, history, Latin, 
mathematics, physical education, physics, political science, psychology, 
Russian, general science, social studies, sociology, and Spanish. 



CURRICULA AND DEGREES 59 



Programs with Other Universities 

Rice currently participates in cooperative programs with several other 
colleges and universities at the undergraduate level. These include programs 
with Swarthmore College, Texas Southern University, Trinity College of 
Cambridge University, and Williams College. 

Rice-Swarthmore Exchange Program 

An exchange program between Rice and Swarthmore College has been 
arranged for qualified students beyond the freshman year who are interested 
in spending a semester in another part of the country. Swarthmore, which is 
situated on a wooded campus near Philadelphia, is a nondenominational 
coeducational college with academic standards similar to those at Rice. 

The exchange is for the fall semester only. Rice students apply in January 
by submitting their own letter of application and two supporting letters, one 
from a faculty member in their major department and one from another 
member of the faculty. The exchange is on a one-for-one basis with each 
student continuing to pay all charges and fees to his or her home school. Rice 
students chosen for the exchange may take with them to Swarthmore any 
financial aid from Rice for which they may be eligible. 

Prior approval of transfer credit should be requested for each course from 
the registrar. Courses to be taken at Swarthmore which will apply to the 
student's major must also be approved by the department. Students who enroll 
in the normal program of four four-semester-hour courses at Swarthmore 
receive upon satisfactory completion sixteen semester hours (or five courses) 
toward their Rice degree with a notation of specific courses which may count for 
fulfillment of major requirements or distribution within that block credit. 

Dual Degree Program with Texas Southern University 

A dual-degree program with Texas Southern University, a predomin- 
antly minority institution in Houston, enables students to attend T.S.U. for 
three years, majoring in mathematics, physics, or chemistry. At the end of 
the third year, if their work has been satisfactory, the students transfer to Rice 
as juniors in engineering. After five years, a student will normally receive a B.S. 
in some branch of engineering from Rice and a B.S. in mathematics, physics, or 
chemistry from Texas Southern. 

While the students are still enrolled at Texas Southern, generally during 
their third year, they will take two or more courses at Rice in order to prepare 
themselves for their engineering majors here. 

This program may lead to an additional year at Rice for the professional 
master's degree. It also prepares a student for graduate work at Rice or any 
other institution offering graduate work in engineering. 

C. D. Broad Exchange Program with Trinity College, Cambridge 

An exchange program sponsored by the Abraham Student Aid Founda- 
tion involves both students and faculty from Rice and from Trinity College, 
Cambridge. Student participation, available through receipt of a competitive 
award, confers one year of study as a visiting student at Rice or at Trinity 
College. During 1978-1979 a student from Cambridge will study at Rice; Rice 
students may apply to study at Trinity the following year. Similar but 



60 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES 

shorter exchanges of Rice and Cambridge faculty members will also be 
arranged through the program. 

Further information on the program may be obtained from Professor 
David L. Minter, English Department, Rice's coordinator for the program. 

Program with Williams College 

In 1976 a five-year program with Williams College was established leading 
to a B.S. degree in one of the various branches of engineering from Rice and a 
B.A. degree from Williams awarded jointly after three years at Williams and 
two at Rice. Students applying for the program must submit applications and 
fulfill all the qualifications for admission to Rice as transfer students. 



Academic Regulations 



All students seeking an undergraduate degree are subject to the academic 
regulations of the university. The Committee on Examinations and Standing 
administers the rules described below. Under unusual circumstances any stu- 
dent may submit a written petition to the committee requesting special consid- 
eration. All correspondence with the committee should be addressed in care of 
the Dean of Undergraduate Affairs. 

Registration 

Currently enrolled students must complete preliminary registration in 
April for the following semester. Unless a special tuition plan has been elected, 
all tuition and fees for the fall semester must be paid by August 14, 1978. 
Charges for the spring semester are payable December 29, 1978. A student who 
does not file a course program or request a delay from the registrar by the 
established deadline will be considered withdrawn from the university by 
default. To be readmitted the student must be eligible to continue and must 
pay a $25 reinstatement fee. 

Entering students complete their preliminary registration during orienta- 
tion for new students the week before classes begin in August. 

All students must file a final course registration by the end of the second 
week of classes. Any student who fails to comply with this requirement will be 
assessed the $25 reinstatement fee. A student who changes registration after 
the second week of classes will be charged a fee of $10 for each add/drop form 
submitted, unless the change is a result of a revision in the course offerings or 
class schedules of the university. 

Each student's course registration card must be signed by his or her faculty 
adviser. Freshmen and sophomores should have their registration approved 
by the faculty adviser assigned to them in their college. Juniors and seniors 
have faculty advisers in their major departments. Entering transfer students 
will be assigned advisers according to their class standing. Freshman students 
in architecture and music must also consult faculty advisers in their respective 
fields. Freshmen in engineering must consult faculty advisers in their intended 
fields of engineering. 

The end of the fourth week is the final deadline for late registration or for 
registering in additional courses. A student may drop courses as late as the 



ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 61 

end of the tenth week but must secure permission through the Dean of Under- 
graduate Affairs to continue the semester with fewer than twelve semester 
hours (four courses). See Course Programs below. 

The above regulations and fees may be suspended for a student who wishes 
to change majors. 



Course Programs 

Students at Rice normally enroll in fifteen to seventeen semester hours (five 
courses) each semester and thus in eight semesters complete the requirements 
for graduation in their major. Students wishing to register or to be enrolled 
at any time during the semester for less than twelve or more than twenty 
semester hours (less than four or more than six courses of at least three semester 
hours each) must secure approval from the Committee on Examinations and 
Standing through the Dean of Undergraduate Affairs. 

A student who enters with advanced placement credits, takes an overload 
during the regular term, or enrolls in additional courses in summer school may 
be able to fulfill the requirements for graduation in less than eight semesters. A 
student enrolled in fewer than five courses may make up the work in a sub- 
sequent semester or in summer school or by continuing beyond the normal 
four years. 

A student on academic probation is not allowed to enroll in more than 
seventeen semester hours (five courses). A student who receives two or more 
"incomplete" grades in a semester is not eligible to enroll in more than fourteen 
semester hours (four courses) in the semester immediately following. 

Courses in ROTC are not included in determining the number of semester 
hours of enrollment in a semester. 



Transfer Credit, Including Credit for 
Summer School Courses Not Taken at Rice 

The basis for approval of transfer credit toward a Rice undergraduate 
degree for courses taken at another college or university is equivalence in 
content and semester-hour credit to a corresponding Rice course. Transfer 
credit for no more than fourteen semester hours (four courses of at least three 
semester hours each) taken during the summer at an accredited college or 
university other than Rice will be granted if the courses are individually 
acceptable for transfer credit. 

Students who wish to take courses at another university during an 
approved leave of absence or during the summer are advised to secure prior 
approval of transfer credit from the registrar by submitting the name of the 
school and the list of specific courses for which credit is requested. If courses 
taken elsewhere are to count as part of the student's major requirements, 
written approval for transfer credit must also be secured from the appropriate 
department. 

Prior approval is recommended but not required. Courses may be submit- 
ted for transfer credit after the work has been completed. Final approval of 
credit will be granted and entered on the student's permanent record when the 
registrar receives an official transcript verifying completion of the work with a 
grade equivalent to C or better. 

Students transferring to Rice from another college or university should 
apply to the registrar for transfer credit on the same basis. 

Financial aid from Rice is not available for courses taken at another school. 



62 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES 

Approval of Degree Plans and Majors 

At the time of preliminary registration in April each year continuing 
students must file a complete degree plan with the registrar and with their 
major department or college (freshmen only). The degree plan must be 
approved by the student's adviser and must include: (1) major(s), (2) courses 
completed to date, (3) proposed courses for each subsequent year which will 
show when major requirements and distribution requirements will be met, and 
(4) the expected date of graduation. 

A student who wishes to propose a degree plan which varies from the 
normal requirements for the degree sought may submit it with appropriate 
explanation and justification to the Committee on Examinations and Standing 
for approval. 

A student's degree plan, including the student's choice of major, may be 
changed at any time by filing a new, properly approved plan with the registrar. 

Final Examinations 

Final examinations are given in most courses, but the decision to give a final 
examination as a required part of the course rests with the instructor and the 
department. 

No student may be required to take a final examination before the official 
examination period as scheduled on the academic calendar, nor may an in- 
structor require that a take-home final examination be returned before 5:00 
p.m. on the last day of the scheduled examination period. These restrictions do 
not apply to laboratory examinations. 

All tests and examinations are conducted under the honor system. 

Grade Symbol and the Pass-Fail Option 

1 very high standing P pass 

2 high standing F failure 

3 satisfactory standing WD withdrawn without prejudice 

4 low standing INC incomplete 

5 failure * other 

Any student may enroll in one course of not more than four semester hours 
on a pass-fail basis in any four semesters of the normal eight-semester program. 
This option does not apply to the required courses taken within a student's 
major department nor to related required courses in other departments which 
the major department may specify as not available for the pass-fail option. 
Students wishing to enroll on a pass-fail basis in a course of more than four 
semester hours may apply to the Committee on Examinations and Standing 
for approval. 

Courses are designated as taken under the pass-fail option by filing the 
proper form in the Registrar's Office no later than the end of the fourth week 
of classes. Any course so designated may be converted back to a numerical 
grade prior to the end of the tenth week. 

A grade of "incomplete" is reported to the registrar by the instructor when 
a student has not been able to complete a course because of illness or other 
circumstances beyond the student's control during the semester. Such work 
must be completed and a numerical grade reported by the end of the fifth week 
of the next semester; otherwise the "incomplete" is automatically converted 
to 5. 

A grade of "other" may be given if a student fails to appear for the final 
examination after completing all the other work of a course, or if the registrar 



ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 63 

has not received grades from the instructor at the time the grade reports are 
prepared. A designation of "other" must be resolved promptly after the end of 
the semester; otherwise it will be converted to 5. 

Students with designations of "incomplete" or "other" should be aware 
that they may go on probation or suspension for the previous semester when 
these are changed to numerical grades. 

President's Honor Roll 

Outstanding students are recognized each semester through the publica- 
tion of the President's Honor Roll. In order to be eligible, students must have 
number grades in a total of twelve or more semester hours, laboratories and 
courses of less than three semester hours included, and must not have any 
grade of 5 or F. Approximately 30 percent of all undergraduates will be eligible. 
The exact cut-off each semester is to be determined by the Committee on 
Examinations and Standing on the basis of grade point averages provided by 
the Registrar's Office. A designation of P will not affect a student's eligibility 
one way or the other, nor will it figure in the calculation of the student's grade 
point average for the semester. Grades in freshman Physical Education and 
ROTC courses will not be counted in the required number grades for twelve 
or more semester hours, nor in calculating a student's grade point average for 
the semester. 

Academic Probation 

A student will be placed on academic probation if at the end of any semester: 

1. the student fails more than 25 percent of his or her course program for the 
semester, calculated according to semester hours, or 

2. the student does not earn grades of P, 3-, or better in at least 50 percent 
of his or her course program for the semester, calculated according to 
semester hours. 

Students who earn grades which would place them on probation a third 
time are automatically suspended from the university. 

The period of probation extends to the end of the next semester in which 
the student is enrolled at the university. A student on probation is not permit- 
ted to be a candidate for nor to hold any elective or appointive office. This 
restriction is also embodied in the constitution of the Student Association. 



Academic Suspension 

A student will be suspended from the university if at the end of any 
semester: 

1. the student is failing in more than half of his or her course program for the 
semester, calculated according to semester hours, or 

2. the student earns grades which would place him or her on probation a 
third time. 

Provision 1 does not apply to undergraduate students at the end of their 
first semester at Rice. 

Students who are suspended are normally required to withdraw for a 
period of at least one semester. Readmission after suspension is subject to ap- 
proval of the Committee on Examinations and Standing. 



64 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES 

To obtain readmission, the student should address a letter of petition to 
the committee at least a month before the beginning of classes, and at the same 
time request two supporting letters from persons under whom the student has 
worked or with whom the student has been associated in the interval of the 
suspension. If the problems causing the previous academic difficulty appear, 
upon proper consultation, to have been relieved, the student is generally 
readmitted. In some instances approval of readmisson may be postponed, or 
suspension may be permanent. 

If a student who has previously been suspended earns grades which would 
result in probation, the student will automatically be suspended a second 
time. The period of second suspension will be at least two semesters. 

A student desiring special consideration with regard to readmission fol- 
lowing suspension should petition the committee in writing. 



Readmission Involving Disciplinary or 
Other Nonacademie Considerations 

Petitions for readmisson following suspension, voluntary withdrawal, or a 
leave of absence beyond two years, which involve disciplinary or other non- 
academic considerations, may be subject to review by the Proctor before final 
approval by the Committee on Examinations and Standing. 



Voluntary Withdrawal and Readmission 

A student may withdraw voluntarily from the university at any time 
during the semester up until the last day of classes and, if in good academic 
standing at the time of withdrawal, the student will normally be readmitted 
upon written application to the Committee on Examinations and Standing. 

Any student desiring to withdraw should inform the college master in 
person and give written notification of withdrawal to the Dean of Under- 
graduate Affairs, who will notify other offices of the university as necessary. If 
the student withdraws within five weeks of the final examination period, class 
grades as of the date of withdrawal will be considered in determining eligi- 
bility for readmission. Students who fail to give notice of withdrawal should 
expect to receive failing grades. 



Leave of Absence 

A student may request a leave of absence from the university by applying 
in writing to the Committee on Examinations and Standing at any time prior 
to the first day of classes in the semester which marks the beginning of the 
leave. Leave from the university after the beginning of the semester is consider- 
ed a voluntary withdrawal. 

To be readmitted following an approved leave of absence of not more than 
four semesters, students need only notify the Dean of Undergraduate Affairs 
of their intention to return at least one month before the beginning of the 
semester. After four semesters, they should apply in writing to the Committee 
on Examinations and Standing, as in the case of a voluntary withdrawal. 

Approval of a leave of absence is always contingent on the student's satis- 
factory completion of course work in the semester preceding the leave; other- 
wise the approved leave may be converted to suspension. 



ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 65 

Graduation 

To be recommended for any bachelor's degree, students must have earned 
grades of 3 or better in at least 50 percent of the work prescribed for the 
degree, including grades of 3 or better in at least 50 percent of the advanced 
work in their major field, calculated by semester hours. 

A student must complete a total of at least 120 semester hours, including 
48 semester hours (fourteen courses of at least three semester hours each) in 
advanced courses, in order to qualify for a Bachelor of Arts degree. Students 
enrolled in a program leading to a degree of Bachelor of Science in one of the 
various branches of engineering should check with the appropriate depart- 
ment concerning graduation requirements. 

Students must be registered with the university in the semester im- 
mediately preceding the awarding of their degrees. Students who have com- 
pleted their degree requirements in the summer or fall prior to that semester, 
or who are completing their senior year at another college or university by 
special arrangement with the Committee on Examinations and Standing, 
must register on campus or by mail for a no-tuition course DGRE 498b, in 
order to be listed as degree candidates. They will be charged a $50 registration 
fee and a diploma fee. 

The Committee on Examinations and Standing reviews each student's 
record at the time of graduation and recommends to the faculty outstanding 
students to be granted degrees cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum 
laude. 



Rice Tutorial Program 



Departments with major teaching assignments provide tutoring to fresh- 
men having academic difficulty. Each participating department names a 
faculty tutor who is responsible for organizing tutoring activities and assign- 
ing students who need tutoring to groups or individual tutors. Assignments 
are made on a mutually agreeable basis after consultation. 

Anyone may recommend or request tutoring for an individual freshman. 
Students who feel they need help may request it themselves. The normal pro- 
cedure is to consult with the course instructor or the department tutor first; 
however, the college liaison associate and the program coordinator are avail- 
able for consultation and assistance. 

Each residential college selects a faculty associate who has agreed to 
serve in a liaison capacity. The faculty member seeks ways to aid communica- 
tion and help advise freshmen who may need tutoring. The entire tutoring 
program is under the supervision of a faculty member who acts as program 
coordinator. 

Information concerning the tutorial program may be secured from the 
Office of Student Advising and Student Activities. 



Admission of New Students 



From its very beginning Rice University has sought to maintain an 
academic program of the highest order of excellence for a small body of stu- 
dents. This number has grown with the expansion of the university's resources 
over the past decade, but the total number of students admitted to Rice still 
remains relatively small — approximately 500 students in each freshman class. 



66 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES 

In making its selections, the Admissions Committee attempts to seek out 
and identify students who have demonstrated exceptional ability and the 
potential for personal and intellectual growth. There is no discrimination 
whatever on the basis of sex, race, or creed. Decisions are based not only on 
high school grades and test scores but also on such qualities as leadership, 
participation in extracurricular activities, and personal creativity. The 
university's aim is diversity rather than uniformity, and it believes that stu- 
dents learn from each other and from the life of the residential colleges, as well 
as from their classes and laboratories. 

Students are selected on a competitive basis under admissions quotas in 
(1) architecture; (2) humanities and social sciences; (3) engineering; (4) music; 
and (5) science. Applicants should give careful consideration to the category 
under which they wish to be considered. Students, however, are free to change 
from one of these areas to another, after consultation with their adviser. Only 
architecture and music have strictly limited enrollments. Occasionally physi- 
cal limitations of other departments may make it necessary to limit enroll- 
ment of majors in some departments. 

There are four basic measures used in admissions: (1) scholastic record as 
reflected by the courses chosen and the quality of performance; (2) scores on 
the Scholastic Aptitude and Achievement Tests administered by the College 
Entrance Examination Board; (3) evaluations made by teachers and coun- 
selors; (4) personal interviews and the student's statements about his or her 
interests, experience, and goals. The Admissions Committee is particularly 
interested in any information that can give insight into the extracurricular 
areas of development and such unmeasurable factors as motivation, intellec- 
tual curiosity, and character. 

1. The High School Record. The completion of not less than sixteen 
acceptable units is required. The record must include the following units: 



English 4 Laboratory science 2 

Social Studies 2 (biology, chemistry, physics, etc.) 

Mathematics (algebra, geometry) 3 Additional credits in above- 
A foreign language 2 listed subjects 3 

Total 16 



Preparation in chemistry, physics, trigonometry, and additional advanced 
mathematics courses is required of applicants for the engineering and science 
divisions. 



2. Entrance Examinations. The required entrance examinations are 
administered by the College Entrance Examination Board. Formal arrange- 
ment for applying to take the C.E.E.B. examinations, as well as for paying 
fees, is a matter between the applicant and the College Entrance Examination 
Board. The C.E.E.B. bulletins and test applications are available from high 
school counseling offices. They may also be obtained in the Rice Admissions 
Office.

The courses of study and majors offered may be found on pages 103 through 
264. 

3. Evaluations from High School Counselors and Teachers. Rating 
sheets submitted by the applicant's high school teachers and counselors are 
considered in connection with every application. 

4. Personal Interviews. Interviews are an integral part of the admission 
procedure. They enable the Committee on Admissions to reach a decision 
based on nonacademic, as well as academic, aspects of the candidate's de- 
velopment. The candidate should arrange for an interview in compliance with 
the admissions calendar on page 69. Campus interviews will be held at 109 
Lovett Hall between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through 
Friday, and until 11:30 on Saturday mornings. (Summer schedule: Monday 
through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) Applicants who cannot visit the 
university or who are unable to meet with a traveling member of the admis- 
sions staff may be interviewed by alumni interviewers located throughout the 
United States and in several foreign countries. If an applicant cannot be 
interviewed by one of these methods, the interview will be waived. Candidates 
for admission to the Shepherd School of Music must arrange for an audition 
and interview with the music faculty. 

Early Decision Plan 

The Early Decision Plan is open to candidates for admission who regard 
Rice University as their first choice and will await the outcome of their appli- 
cation to Rice before applying elsewhere. 

Students applying for the fall semester 1979 under the Early Decision 
Plan must complete the required College Board Examinations on or before 
June 3, 1978. Applications for admisson may be filed between July 1 and 
October 1. Admission notices will be mailed soon after November 15, 1978. 

Requirements for admisson will not be altered by an early decison. Those 
accepted will be expected to complete the remainder of their high school work 
with superior performance. 

Early Decision candidates who apply for financial aid will be notified of 
admisson in mid-November but may have to wait until December 1 to be 
notified of their financial aid package. 



68 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES 

Action on some applications may be deferred until the Regular Decision 
period if the Admissions Committee does not have adequate grounds for an 
affirmative decision in November. An additional semester of the high school 
record and additional C.E.E.B. scores from the November, December, or 
January tests may be added for later consideration. The applicant would, of 
course, be released from the pledge to apply only to Rice. 

An applicant offered admisson under the Early Decision Plan must make 
a $100 nonrefundable registration deposit within 30 days in order to hold his or 
her place in the incoming freshman class. Those who wish to reserve a room 
on campus must make an additional $50 deposit. 



Interim Decision Plan 

Applicants who complete their SAT and Achievement Tests by December 
and who file the application for admission before December 1 will be consid- 
ered in the Interim Decision Plan and be notified of the outcome by Febru- 
ary 9. 

An applicants offered minimum under this plan must make a $100 regis- 
tration deposit by March 10. This deposit is not refundable after March 10. 
Those who wish to reserve a room on campus must make an additional $50 
deposit. 



Regular Decision Plan 

Regular Decision applications completed by February 1 will be considered 
before April 10. Applications received after February 1 will be considered 
only after all earlier applications. Candidates who apply after February 1 must 
do so in full knowledge that they are in a highly speculative position. 

Applicants not accepted under the especially stringent guidelines for 
Early Decision and Interim Decision will normally be advised to keep their 
applications alive until all applicants can be considered. Regular Decision 
applicants who are offered admission should make a $100 registration deposit 
by May 1 to reserve their places in the incoming class. This deposit is not 
refundable after May 1. Those who wish to reserve a room on campus must 
make and additional $50 deposit.

No application fee is required of candidates for admission to Rice. 

The $50 room deposit is due on the same date as the registration deposit. The room deposit may be refunded or 

credited to the applicant's account until such time as a room is assigned to the applicant. 



Advanced Placement 

Entering freshmen who have done work well beyond the usual high school 
courses in certain subjects and who make a score of 4 or 5 on the Advanced 
Placement Examinations offered by C.E.E.B. and taken prior to matricula- 
tion at Rice, will be given university credit toward graduation for appropriate 
Rice courses satisfying distribution or free elective requirements. Acceptance 
of such credit in fulfillment of a student's major requirements is subject to 
approval by the department in question. Credit for specific courses at Rice will 
depend upon which advanced placement examination was successfully com- 
pleted. 

Students, who make high scores on the College Level Examination Program 
(CLEP) tests in chemistry may, at the discretion of the Chemistry Depart- 
ment, receive advanced placement and college credit in chemistry. Students 
with high scores on a departmental examination in biology administered by 
the Rice Biology Department to entering students will have the opportunity 
to take the CLEP test in biology and may on the basis of their CLEP scores 



70 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES 

receive degree credit as well as advanced placement in biology. College credit 
is not given for any other CLEP examinations at this time. No degree credit for 
introductory courses in chemistry or biology on the basis of CLEP scores will 
be granted to students who have taken more advanced college work in the 
subject. 

During orientation week at the beginning of the academic year, entering 
students may take advanced placement tests administered by various depart- 
ments at Rice. On the basis of these tests students may be advised to register in 
courses beyond the introductory level. College credit is not given for these tests. 



Transfer Students 

Rice University encourages application from students with superior rec- 
ords who wish to transfer from a junior college or a four-year college or 
university. Interested students should request a transfer application form 
from the Office of Admissions. 

Applicants should file an application before April 1 if they plan to request 
admission in the following fall semester. Applications must be accompanied by 
official transcripts showing all college level work completed to date and 
courses in progress. Decisions regarding transfer applications for admission to 
the spring semester are usually made during November. For the fall semester 
notification of admission is made by early May. 

The criteria used in evaluating transfer applications are essentially the 
same as those applied to applicants for the freshman class, except that special 
emphasis is given to performance at the college level. Scholastic Aptitude Test 
scores are required. If candidates have not previously taken C.E.E.B. tests, 
they must take the Scholastic Aptitude Test no later than January if they wish 
to apply for admission in the fall. Achievement Tests are not required. 

Transfer students must be registered in residence at Rice for at least four 
full semesters during the fall or spring terms, and must complete not less than 
fifty-two semester hours (sixteen courses of three or more semester hours each) 
for a Rice degree. 

For further information or application forms, prospective candidates for 
admission as undergraduates should communicate with the Office of Admis- 
sions. When requesting application forms, candidates should clearly indicate 
that they are prospective transfers from another college. 



Visiting Students 

Students who wish to spend a semester or a year at Rice taking courses for 
credit to be applied toward their undergraduate degree at another school 
should apply for admission as visiting students through the Office of Admis- 
sions. The student's application should be accompanied by an official tran- 
script of college work to date and a letter from the student's academic dean or 
registrar agreeing to grant transfer credit subject to satisfactory performance. 

Visiting students will be assigned membership in a college during their 
stay and will be charged the same fees as other undergraduates. In a few clas- 
ses where enrollment is limited because of space or other considerations, 
candidates for Rice degrees will have priority over visiting students. Finan- 
cial Aid is not available for visiting students. 



ADMISSION OF NEW STUDENTS 71 

Class III Students 

Class III standing at Rice University designates students with an under- 
graduate or graduate degree from an accredited college or university who are 
taking courses for credit but not in a specific degree program. The university 
keeps a permanent record of such courses and will send a transcript of that 
record anywhere on request from the student. Courses taken as a Class III 
student may be used to prepare for advanced degree work or to satisfy require- 
ments for admission into a graduate program. However a graduate degree may 
not be earned through the Class III program nor may such work be credited 
toward resident requirements at Rice until the student has applied to the ap- 
propriate department, been recommended for admission, and been officially 
admitted by the Graduate Council. 

Although most undergraduate courses and some graduate courses are 
open to Class III students, in a few classes and laboratories where enrollment 
is limited because of space or other considerations, candidates for Rice degrees 
will have priority over Class III students. 

Application for admission as a Class III student should be submitted to the 
Office of the Dean of Advanced Studies and Research. For information on 
tuition and fees for Class III students, see page 73. Financial Aid is not avail- 
able for Class III students. 



Admission of High School Students to Take Courses for Credit 

Accelerated high school juniors and seniors who have taken all the courses 
in a given discipline available to them in high school, or who have completed 
their high school graduation requirements, may request admission to Rice for 
the purpose of taking one or more university level courses on the same basis as 
Rice undergraduates. Such courses will be graded for credit, and the univer- 
sity will send a transcript of this record on request by the student to any college 
or university. If the high school student is later admitted to Rice, any such 
courses which carry credit of three or more semester hours will be counted 
toward the student's undergraduate degree at Rice. 

Tuition for such courses in $100 per semester hour plus a $50 registration 
fee, the total not to exceed $1250. Application for admission should be made to 
the Admissions Office. Financial assistance is not available for this program. 



Auditors 

Any interested person may audit one or more courses at Rice by securing 
permission of the instructor and by registering as an auditor with the regis- 
trar. The university grants no academic credit and keeps no permanent rec- 
ords of courses attended by auditors. 

Currently enrolled students may audit courses without charge. Rice 
alumni may audit as many courses as they wish for a fee of $25 per semester. 
All others will be charged $50 per course per semester for the privilege of audit- 
ing. 



Student Housing 

Prospective students should indicate on the application for admission 
whether or not they desire to reside on the campus. Information about residence 
in the college and room application forms will accompany the notice of admis- 



72 INFORMATION FORUNDERGRADUATES 



sion sent to each new undergraduate. Room reservations cannot be made prior 
to notification of admission. 

At present, Rice University has the capacity to house about 60 percent of 
its undergraduate students in the residential colleges on campus. Although 
the majority of students desiring to live in the colleges can be accommodated, 
demand exceeds the available number of rooms. Every effort is made to pro- 
vide housing in the colleges for all incoming freshmen who wish to live on 
campus, but continuing students cannot be promised space and must draw for 
rooms according to the priority system in each college. No student is required 
to live on campus. Off-campus members are encouraged to eat in their colleges 
and to participate in college activities. 

Correspondence from new students regarding housing in the residential 
colleges should be addressed to the Office of Admissions. Information con- 
cerning off-campus housing is available from the Office of Student Advising 
and Student Activities.

74 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES 



Refund of Tuition 



A student who withdraws during the first two weeks of the semester will 
not be charged tuition or fees for that semester. A student who withdraws 
during the third week will be charged 30 percent of the semester's tuition. The 
amount of the refund will be reduced by 10 percent at the beginning of each 
successive week. No refund will be made for withdrawals after the ninth week. 
There is no refund of fees or special charges after the second week of classes in 
the semester. The $100 registration deposit paid by incoming freshmen is not 
refunded at any time if the student withdraws. There is no partial refund of 
fees paid for the full year for withdrawals or leaves of absence in the spring 
semester. 

Teacher Certification Program Fees 

All students enrolling in either the apprenticeship plan or the internship 
plan will be charged a $100 registration fee for each semester or summer period. 

Delinquent Accounts 

No student in arrears in any financial obligation to Rice University as of 
the date announced for the completion of registration for any semester will be 
registered. No certificate of attendance, diploma, or transcript of credit will 
be issued at any time for a student whose account is in arrears. 

Students who have not made satisfactory arrangements with the cashier 
for payment of current charges, or anyone moving on campus without execut- 
ing a satisfactory room contract, may be dropped from the rolls of the university. 

Transcripts 

Transcripts are issued on request made to the Office of the Registrar. No 
transcript is issued without consent of the individual whose record is con- 
cerned. Each student is entitled to two free transcripts. There is a charge of $1 
for each additional copy, payable in advance. Those requesting transcripts by 
mail should include payment with the request. 

Living Expenses 

Residence fees, to cover costs of dining halls and operation of residences, 
are established from year to year as requirements dictate. For 1978-1979 the 
yearly room and board charge for residence in a residential college is $1990. 
This charge provides room and three meals per day excluding the evening 
meals on Saturdays and Sundays. Meals are not served during the Thanksgiv- 
ing holidays, mid-year, fall and spring midterm recesses, and the Easter holi- 
days. When securing room assignments for the academic year to follow, each 
student is required to make a room deposit of $50. To assure reservation of 
space, current students must make room deposits by the date established in 
the various colleges, but no later than April 15. New students are required to 
make a similar deposit prior to May 1. These deposits are returnable but will 
be applied against the following semester's charges. The balance of the resi- 
dence fee is payable in installments. The exact amounts and due dates are 
stated in the residential college agreement which each on-campus resident is 
required to sign. 

All items included, the young man or woman entering Rice University in 
August 1978 and living on campus will need to have available about $5550 the 
first year. For a student living at home the cost will be about $4500. 



INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES 75 

Financial Aid 



The financial aid program at Rice University seeks to provide assistance 
as needed in meeting the basic costs of attendance to all students who are 
admitted. Through grants, low interest loans, campus work opportunities, or a 
combination of these programs. Rice attempts to give the students sufficient 
aid to meet educational expenses. 

The financial aid program is funded from many sources. Rice University 
receives from alumni and friends contributions which are used to initiate 
and maintain scholarships and loan funds. Other funds available to the students 
are federal programs, both grant and loan, the state grant program, and the 
Rice University tuition grant and loan appropriation from endowment income. 

Awards are based primarily on financial need. It is assumed that (1) 
students will rely upon their own resources as much as possible and will make 
a reasonable effort to increase them through summer work and other sources 
which may be available to them, (2) student expenses will be held to a reason- 
able minimum, and (3) parents will contribute in proportion to their means 
and other obligations. 

A brochure entitled "Rice: Financial Aid Opportunities" explains the 
program of assistance in detail. You may secure a copy from the Office of Ad- 
missions. 

The determination of need is based on information supplied through the 
College Scholarship Service. 



Application 

To apply for financial assistance the candidate must file a Rice University 
financial aid application with the university as well as the Financial Aid Form 
with the College Scholarship Service. When Rice University receives both 
forms the applicant is considered for all appropriate assistance administered 
by the university including grants, scholarships, loans, and work. 

Early Decision candidates may obtain the Financial Aid Form from Rice 
University. This form and the application for financial aid must be filed by 
October 1. Interim Decision candidates must file the Rice University financial 
aid application and the Financial Aid Form by January 15 and Regular 
Decision candidates must file the Financial Aid Form by February 1. 

Notifications of offers of financial aid accompany notices of admission to 
Rice. Financial aid awards are made on an annual basis and are payable as 
indicated on the award sheet. 

Continuing students must file the Rice University financial aid applica- 
tion with the university and the Financial Aid Form with the College Scholar- 
ship Service by August 1. Since awards are based on need which may change 
from year to year, the amount of assistance is reviewed and adjustment made 
each year as related to the current need. 



Financing 

In some cases meeting the costs of higher education in a private university 
is difficult even though the usual financial analysis indicates no need for 
financial aid. It is understood that even though a family's assets may be ade- 
quate to afford the cost of tuitition, fees, and room and board without financial 



76 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES 

aid, payment of relatively large sums at stated times may require rearrange- 
ment of family planning that results in hardships or sacrifice. Rice University 
offers two payment plans to permit financing of educational costs. Both re- 
quire very low interest charges. 

A short-term, ten-pay plan permits division of the annual university 
charges over ten months. Arrangements are made through the Cashier's 
Office, from which details and applications may be obtained. 

Longer term financing is available through the Rice University loan pro- 
gram to those for whom lump sum payments would require undue hardship. 
Under the terms of this plan a student may borrow up to two thousand dollars 
in one year. Interest is not charged so long as the student is registered as an 
undergraduate in the university. Upon more than one year's leave of absence, 
or withdrawal, or following graduation, arrangements are made for repay- 
ment over an extended period, interest being charged at a very nominal rate. 



Student Loan Funds 

A few endowments have been established for student loans primarily as 
memorial tributes. Others are welcome. These funds are basically part of the 
normal financial aid program. They are used also, however, for emergency 
loans to students who experience unexpected financial problems during a 
term. 

Karl Bailey-William Carroll Memorial Loan Fund 

Frank McFadden Caldwell Loan Fund 

Louise Adele Drenkle Loan Fund 

Mary Alice Elliott Loan Fund 

Houston Bridge League Loan Fund 

Leo M. Levy Memorial Loan Fund 

Lora B. Peck Loan Fund 

Rice University Loan Fund 

Students Memorial Loan Fund 

Owen Wister Literary Society Alumnae Loan Fund 



Student Employment 

Employment is available to students interested in working part time dur- 
ing the academic year. These work opportunities are available both on campus 
and off campus. Students seeking employment should apply directly to the 
Financial Aid Office. 



Vocational Rehabilitation 

The Texas Rehabilitation Commission offers assistance for tuition and 
nonrefundable fees to students who have certain disabling conditions if their 
vocational objectives have been approved by a TRC counselor. Examples of 
such conditions are orthopedic deformities, emotional disorders, diabetes, 
epilepsy, and heart conditions. Other services are also available to assist the 
handicapped student to become employable. Application for such service 
should be made at the Texas Rehabilitation Commission. Students with visual 
handicaps should contact the Texas State Commission for the Blind.

Undergraduate 
Scholarships and Awards 



Alumni and friends of Rice University have generously endowed many 
awards and scholarships to assist students. Some of these are awarded on the 
basis of need as well as academic performance, but a number of scholarships 
and prizes are given on the basis of academic performance alone. 

Students do not apply for these awards and scholarships. Every student is 
automatically considered for an award or scholarship on the basis of entrance 
qualifications or performance at Rice, together with evidence of financial need 
submitted to the Financial Aid Office as these or other qualifications may be 
appropriate. Further informaton on the donors, the number and purpose of 
individual awards, and the names of their most recent recipients are available 
from the Financial Aid Office or from the office of the Dean of Undergraduate 
Affairs.

Honor Societies 



The Phi Beta Kappa Society was founded in 1776 at the College of William 
and Mary for the purpose of recognizing intellectual achievement and the love 
of learning among students in the liberal arts and sciences. The Rice Univer- 
sity chapter was formally installed on March 1, 1929. 

Phi Lambda Upsilon, an honorary chemical society, promotes high schol- 
arship and original investigation in all branches of pure and applied chemis- 
try. The Rice chapter was installed in 1927. 

The Pi Delta Phi Society, organized to interest students of French in 
competing for high standing in scholarship, authorized in May 1930 the forma- 
tion of the Theta chapter at Rice. 

The Society of Sigma Xi, for the promotion of research in science, estab- 
lished the Beta of Texas chapter at Rice on March 23, 1938. 

The Tau Beta Pi Association, organized to interest engineering students 
in competing for high standing in scholarship, created the Gamma of Texas 
chapter at the university on December 18, 1940. 

Delta Phi Alpha was founded to promote an interest in the German 
language and literature. The National Council authorized the Gamma Xi 
Chapter at Rice in April 1949. 

Sigma Delta Pi was founded to promote an interest in the Spanish language 
and literature. The Rice University chapter was installed on May 14, 1953. 

The Alpha Zeta Chapter of Sigma Tau, an engineering society devoted to 
scholarship, practicality, and sociability, was installed at the university on 
May 20, 1953. 

Tau Sigma Delta is a national honor society in architecture and applied 
arts. The Tau Chapter was established at Rice on May 7, 1961. 



Student Life 



Student Responsibility 

Each Rice student is expected to observe standards of conduct consistent 
with respect for the law, the fulfillment of contractual obligations, considera- 
tion for the rights of others, and a high level of personal integrity. Though the 
university does not intend to supervise the personal lives of its students, all 
members of the university community are encouraged to be aware that their 
behavior both on campus and off campus may reflect upon the university. 

The student government, the judicial system, and the honor system de- 
pend on a willing exercise of responsibility and honor on the part of everyone. 

The university reserves the right to require the withdrawal of any student 
whose conduct may be judged clearly detrimental to the best interests of either 



STUDENT LIFE 83 

the student or the university. Such action will be taken only after careful 
consideration by the appropriate branches of the student government and/or 
the faculty and administration. 

No individual or group may use the name of the university or one of its 
colleges without prior approval of the university and the college. 

r 

The Honor System 

One of the oldest and proudest traditions at Rice is its honor system ad- 
ministered by a student Honor Council whose members are elected annually 
by the student body. Adopted by a vote of the student body in 1916, the system 
has remained essentially unchanged except for changes in the procedures and 
membership of the Honor Council. 

All written examinations and any specifically designated assignments 
are conducted under the honor code. The student body, through its commit- 
ment to the honor system, accepts responsibility for assuring the validity of all 
examinations and assignments conducted under the system. The Honor 
Council is responsible for investigation of all reported violations and for trial in 
those cases when the facts warrant. The Proctor reviews the results of investi- 
gations and trials and acts upon recommendations for penalties. The Honor 
Council conducts a continuing program to orient new students and faculty to 
the responsibilities and privileges of the system. 

Residential Colleges 

Every undergraduate student, whether living on campus or not, is a 
member of one of eight residential colleges. Lovett, Richardson, and Wiess are 
men's colleges; Brown and Jones are women's colleges. Baker, Hanszen, and 
Will Rice are coeducational. 

Each college is a self-governing group of students whose elected officers 
and representatives are responsible for directing a variety of cultural, social, 
and athletic activities as well as maintaining good order in the college. While 
uniformity among the colleges has never been sought and each college has 
developed its own particular interests and character, all seek to foster fellow- 
ship among their members and a mature sense of honor, responsibility, and 
sound judgment. 

Each college has a faculty master who, with his family, occupies the 
master's house adjacent to the college. The master has an overall responsibility 
for all aspects of student life in the college. He is particularly responsible for 
encouraging broad cultural and intellectual interests among the members 
and for promoting individual self discipline and effective self government 
within the college. Other members of the faculty are invited, on consultation 
between the student members and the master, to become resident and non- 
resident associates of the college. Faculty associates act as advisers to the 
members and participate in the fellowship and activities of the college. Sever- 
al colleges also have community associates from the Houston area, drawn from 
various professions. 

Upon acceptance by the university, each undergraduate student is desig- 
nated a member of one of the colleges. Two students who are entering Rice for 
the first time may ask to be assigned to the same college, but may not designate 
which college. Men and women also may indicate a preference for either a 
men's college, or a women's college, or a coed college, but may not designate 
which college. A new student may request membership in the same college as a 
close relative. No other choice of college is allowed. 



84 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES 

The buildings of each college include a dining hall and living rooms, 
which are available to both resident and nonresident members, and living 
quarters for approximately 215 students from all classes of the university and 
all academic disciplines. At present, on-campus residential space is available 
for most of the freshmen who request it, but a freshman is not assured of space 
until he or she receives formal notification. Continuing students draw for the 
available space by the priority and lottery system established in each college 
since the demand exceeds the available space. 

The College Food Service provides nineteen meals per week, excluding 
evening meals on Saturday and Sunday. Breakfast and lunch meals are cafe- 
teria service, and dinner is seated, family style. No meals are provided on 
designated holidays and recesses. Various services provided by the College 
Food Service for students living in the colleges include (1) assistance with 
special diets prescribed by a physician, (2) sack lunches for students who must 
miss a meal due to a job conflict, (3) sick trays for students when requested by 
the Student Health Service, (4) alternate menu entree, whenever possible, in 
accordance with students' religious practices. 

College Courses 

As one of their important activities, individual colleges sponsor courses 
and workshops open to all students. College courses are initiated by students in 
the colleges during the semester preceding their being offered. Following 
approval by the master and faculty associates of the college and by the Dean 
of Undergraduate Affairs, they are accepted for academic credit on the same 
basis as departmental courses and listed by the registrar each semester dur- 
ing preliminary registration. 

College workshops carry no academic credit and do not appear on a 
student's permanent record. Generally designed for instruction in practical 
skills, they may meet on a regular schedule throughout the semester or be 
offered as short courses. 

By expanding the course offerings of the departments, college courses 
promote the academic involvement of the colleges and provide opportunity 
for interdisciplinary topics of particular interest to students. 

Student Government 

All undergraduates are members of the Rice Student Association, which 
is governed through the Student Senate, composed of the president, two vice 
presidents, the secretary-treasurer, the eight college presidents, and addi- 
tional representatives of on campus and off campus students. 

Alleged violations of university or college rules are handled in accordance 
with the University Code of Judicial Procedure. In most cases original juris- 
diction is assigned to student courts, appeal from whose verdict may be made 
to the college master, the proctor, or the University Review Board as appro- 
priate. Final appeal is to the president of the university. The Honor Council, 
which is composed entirely of students, administers the honor system and 
conducts hearings and trials for alleged offenses against it. The university 
retains ultimate authority in all matters of discipline and over all actions 
affecting its educational function or the safety and well being of members of 
the university community. 

The Student Association annually presents two coveted awards, one to a 
student and one to a faculty or staff member. The Rice Service Award, a 
memorial to Hugh Scott Cameron, first dean of students at Rice, is a bronze 



STUDENT LIFE 85 

medallion awarded to currently enrolled or former members of the Student 
Association who have rendered distinguished service to the student body. 
Selection is made by a committee of faculty and students appointed by the 
association. The Mentor Recognition Award recognizes extraordinary service 
to the student body by a current member of the faculty or staff. 

Student Activities ' ^^ 

In addition to the many activities of the residential colleges, various 
campus-wide organizations and activities give students a wide range of choices 
for extracurricular interests. The official publications include the Thresher, 
the student newspaper; the Campanile, the university annual; and the Rice 
Literary Review. The Rice Program Council sponsors various programs of 
current interest to the student body. A campus radio station, KTRU, is oper- 
ated by students on a 18-hour, seven day a week schedule broadcasting FM 
stereo. 

A large number of student organizations provide for special interests, 
such as the Black Student Union, the Rice Association of Mexican American 
Students, the Chinese Student Association, Rice Democratic Caucus, and 
Young Republicans. There are sports clubs for sailing, karate, rugby, scuba 
diving, bicycling, etc. A student debate society, a premed society, and a prelaw 
society serve other students' interests. 

Many organizations are associated with special academic and profes- 
sional disciplines, such as foreign language clubs, the Architectural Society, 
the student affiliate of the American Chemical Society, and the student 
branches of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the 
American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the American Institute of Physics, 
the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical 
Engineers, the Association for Computing Machinery, and the Institute of 
Electrical and Electronic Engineers. The Army and Navy ROTC students have 
the Chevron and the Sextant, respectively, to represent their special interests. 

The Rice Players is an extracurricular theater group composed of Rice 
students and faculty. The Players present at least four productions each year. 
Recent productions include: Shaw's Arms and The Man, The Visit by 
Durrenmatt, Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, WJio's Afraid of Virginia Woolff, 
and Stoppard's Jumpers. The Players welcome participation by anyone 
interested in any aspect of theatre production or management. 

Women students may join one of the two literary societies — the Elizabeth 
Baldwin Society or the Owen Wister Society. The Rally Club is a special ser- 
vice organization for men. 

Rice students are affiliated with a number of denominational religious 
organizations. These include the Baptist Student Union, the Canterbury As- 
sociation, the Christian Science Organization, the Hillel Society, the Lutheran 
Student Association, the Newman Club, the United Campus Christian Fellow- 
ship, and the Wesley Foundation. These organizations are represented on the 
Student Interfaith Council, a group chartered by the Student Association. 

The Student Health Service 

All students pay a health service fee by the semester. Rice University 
participates in the student health service operated by the University of Texas 
Health Science Center for its own students across the street from the Rice 
campus. On campus, a student health clinic, housed in the north wing of 
Hanszen College and staffed by a nurse or qualified attendant and a resident 



86 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES 

physician during specified hours, provides first aid and limited medical care. 
Emergency room services, hospital facilities, and referral to specialists are 
all available through the University of Texas Health Science Center. 

Group health insurance is mandatory for all students except those demon- 
strating comparable coverage. The plan offered through the university covers 
the student for twelve months beginning with the fall semester. The charge, 
payable in one or two installments, is $112.75 for a single student and $280.00 
for a student with one dependent. 

The university Psychiatric Service, which is staffed in cooperation with the 
Department of Psychiatry, Baylor College of Medicine, provides help to 
students with many levels and types of problems. The health service fee in- 
cludes this service, although the Psychiatric Service is independent of the 
Student Health Service. Consultaton and brief psychotherapy are available 
without additional charge. When it is clear that more prolonged counseling or 
treatment is necessary, the individual may be referred to a private physician 
or a clinic at his or her own expense, or as covered by health insurance. An 
appointment may be made directly by a student either by phone or in person at 
the office of Psychiatric Service in Lovett Hall. Provisions have been made for 
emergency situations that occur outside office hours. The confidential re- 
lationship between doctor and patient is carefully maintained as necessary to 
the effectiveness of the services. 

Brochures describing the Health Service, Psychiatric Service, and stu- 
dent health insurance are available in the Health Service Office and in the 
Office of Student Advising and Student Activities. 



The Fondren Library 

The Fondren Library houses more than 900,000 volumes plus more than 
1,000,000 microforms, and receives in excess of 8,000 current serial titles 
annually. These figures represent collections in art, architecture, history, 
literature, philosophy, foreign languages, economics, social sciences, natural 
sciences, and engineering. 

Fondren's open shelf policy enables students to locate materials easily and 
to browse through related volumes. Reference librarians assist students in 
using the library. Copies of a general guide and special guides on such features 
as the card catalog, the reserve book room, and the music room are available at 
the information desk. Fondren Library houses such facilities as individual 
study carrels, group study rooms, record listening booths, microform reading 
carrels, and photoduplicating equipment. 



The Rice Memorial Center 

The Rice Memorial Center, built through the generosity of friends and 
alumni, was dedicated on Homecoming weekend of the fall of 1958. The center 
and chapel comprise a memorial to Rice alumni who have died in the service of 
their country. The chapel is utilized for regular nondenominational religious 
services directed by a committee of students and faculty. 

The center serves as a gathering place for students and provides space for 
the Office of Student Advising and Student Activities, the Association of Rice 
Alumni, the Student Association and various student organizations and publi- 
cations. The Campus Store, Sammy's (snack bar and cafeteria), Willie's Pub, a 
lounge, and ballroom facilities are also located in the RMC. 



STUDENT LIFE 87 

Placement Office 

The Placement Office is a service provided by Rice University to assist 
students and alumni in finding employment. Facilities are available for 
students and alumni to be interviewed for prospective employment by 
representatives from business, industry, and schools, and to be interviewed for 
advanced study by representatives from universities and professional schools. 
Listings and contacts for permanent, part-time, and summer employment 
opportunities are available, as well as information on qualifications for various 
professions and occupations. 

Intercollegiate Athletics 

Rice is a charter member of the Southwest Athletic Conference and a 
member of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. Rice 
athletes participate in all sports sponsored by the Southwest Athletic Confer- 
ence (baseball, basketball, football, golf, swimming, tennis, and track) and 
those included in the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women 
(basketball, golf, swimming, tennis, track, and volleyball, with possible addi- 
tions). Football games are played in the 70,000-seat Rice Stadium, tennis in the 
Jake Hess Tennis Stadium, basketball and volleyball on the Autry Court in the 
Rice Gymnasium, and track in the Rice Track Stadium. Other facilities in- 
clude an indoor swimming pool; handball, raquet ball, and squash courts; 
gymnastic rooms; baseball field; soccer field; and other playing fields. 

Intramural Sports 

The Health and Physical Education Department offers a supervised pro- 
gram of intramural sports for men and women students. Every year over two 
hundred teams and over half of the student body participate in some thirty 
tournaments. 

An individual may participate in individual or dual sports; any group of 
interested students may form teams for the vaious tournaments. A student 
must compete in the university tournaments to become eligible to represent 
his or her college in the college team sports tournaments which follow the open 
tournaments. The most common units for team competition come from the 
various class sections of the Basic Health and Physical Education program, 
students in the same major field, students in the same college, and faculty and 
graduate students. 

Student Automobiles 

All student automobiles must be registered with the Traffic Division of 
the Rice University Police Department. Students must park in assigned 
areas and observe university regulations, subject to tow away and/or fines 
assessed by the university. Copies of the University Traffic and Parking Reg- 
ulations, which detail student privileges and responsibilities, may be 
obtained from the Traffic Division of the University Police, located in 
Abercrombie Laboratory. 



Information for 
Graduate Students 



Since the opening of the university in 1912 the importance of graduate 
study and research as a principal means of advancing knowledge has been 
recognized. The first Doctor of Philosophy degree was awarded in 1918 in 
mathematics. Since that time the graduate area has been expanded through 
the basic sciences, the humanities, engineering, the social sciences, architec- 
ture, music, administration, and to interdepartmental areas. The number of 
graduate programs has steadily increased and advanced degrees are now 
offered in twenty-nine fields of study. 

Graduate programs fall in two broad categories. Research programs lead 
to the Doctor of Philosophy, the Master of Arts, or the Master of Science 
degrees and are preparation for careers in research, university teaching, or 
related activity. Professional master's programs prepare students for specific 
areas of employment and lead to such degrees as the Master of Accounting, 
Master of Architecture, Master of Business and Public Management, Master of 
Chemical Engineering, Master of Civil Engineering, Master of Electrical 
Engineering, Master of Environmental Engineering, Master of Environ- 
mental Science, Master of Materials Science, Master in Applied Mathe- 
matical Sciences, Master of Mechanical Engineering, Master of Music, and 
Master of Arts in Education. 

Two joint graduate programs are also available to Rice students: (1) a 
course of study with Baylor College of Medicine is available for those who seek 
both the Ph.D. and M.D. degrees; and (2) students may earn the M.A. in history 
at Rice concurrently with a law degree from the law schools at the University 
of Houston or Texas Southern University. 

Research Degrees 

The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is awarded for original studies in 
accounting, architecture, behavioral science, biology, biochemistry, chemical 
engineering, chemistry, civil engineering, economics, electrical engineering, 
English, environmental science and engineering, French, geology, German, 
history, materials science, mathematical sciences, mathematics, mechanical 
engineering, philosophy, physics, political science, psychology, religious 
studies, and space physics and astronomy. Various areas of specialization are 
available within these fields of study. 

The degree of Master of Arts is available in the various humanities and 
scientific fields of study including the social sciences. The Master of Science 
degree may be obtained in the fields of chemical, civil, electrical or mechanical 
and aerospace engineering, environmental science and engineering, and ma- 
terials science. The Master of Architecture and the Master of Architecture in 
Urban Design are also offered. 



90 INFORMATION FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS 

Interdisciplinary Research Degree Programs 

Interdisciplinary program in systems theory. Students with backgrounds 
in mathematics, mathematical sciences, engineering, physical sciences, or 
social sciences may earn a Ph.D. in systems theory. These programs are highly 
interdisciplinary in nature and do not necessarily require an undergraduate 
major in the area of primary interest to the department. A student working in 
systems theory enrolls in one of the participating departments, currently the 
departments of Chemical Engineering, Economics, Electrical Engineering, 
and Mathematical Sciences. Programs of instruction utilize common courses 
in systems theory and mathematical sciences, as well as specialized courses in 
the areas of principal research interest. Supporting courses and research 
activities are available in a number of cooperating departments, including 
Mathematics and Behavioral Sciences. Courses and research interests in- 
clude: algorithm theory, artificial intelligence, biological systems, chemical 
systems, economic development, information theory, mathematical program- 
ming, modeling, modern control theory, network theory, operations research 
and economics, optimization, stability theory, and statistical communication 
theory. For applications or additional information, contact the chairman of one 
of the participating departments listed above. 

Interdisciplinary program in solid-state electronics and materials 
science. This program leading to the Master of Science or Arts and Doctor of 
Philosophy is open to students with backgrounds in engineering or physical 
science. The program is sufficiently flexible to accommodate students who do 
not necessarily have a corresponding undergraduate major. The program 
consists of a common group of courses, taught jointly by the participating 
departments, followed by more specialized courses and seminars given by the 
individual departments. Interdepartmental seminars are also offered. The 
research leading to the degrees is normally supervised by an interdepart- 
mental research committee. The student is enrolled in one of the participating 
departments, currently Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical 
Engineering, and Physics. Current courses and research interests include the 
areas of anelasticity, electrical conductivity, electron microscopy, Fermi 
surfaces, ferroelectrics. ferromagnetism, high temperature and high pres- 
sure phenomena, lasers, lattice theory, microwave and infrared devices, 
semiconductor devices, solid solutions, thin films, and transport phenomena. 
For applications or additional information contact the chairman of one of the 
participating departments listed above. 

Interdisciplinary program in bioengineering. Students with back- 
grounds in engineering, mathematics, physics, biology, or biochemistry may 
pursue a Ph. D. in bioengineering. The curriculum offered involves not only 
an extensive introduction to physiology, biophysics, and laboratory methods, 
but also the analysis, modeling, and instrumentation of biological systems. 
Additional courses cover the areas of systems science, modern control theory, 
computer science, communication theory, biology, chemical engineering, and 
mathematical sciences. Courses offered by Baylor College of Medicine are 
available to satisfy special needs and interests of the student. The present re- 
search areas include: the cardiovascular system, vision research, neurophys- 
iology, biological control systems, ultrasound applications to biological sys- 
tems, and mechanical receptor physiology. For applications or additional 
information, contact the chairman of the Department of Electrical Engi- 
neering. 



RESEARCH DEGREES 91 

Requirements for Research Degrees 

General Requirements. The Doctor of Philosophy degree is awarded 
after successful completion of a program of advanced study extending to the 
frontier of knowledge and an original investigation reported in an approved 
thesis. Normally, three or more years of study are required after admission to 
graduate study. At least two years of full-time study, or the equivalent of sixty 
semester hours, must be in residence at Rice. As final evidence of preparation 
for this degree, the candidate must pass a public oral examination. 

The Master of Arts, Master of Architecture, or Master of Science degree 
may be obtained after completion of at least thirty semester hours of study 
including the thesis or project report, twenty-four of which must have been in 
residence at Rice. Programs will generally include original work embodied in 
a thesis, and the candidate's preparation will be evidenced by a public examina- 
tion. Although students with exceptional qualifications may complete the 
master's in one year, most students will need three or four semesters of study 
and research. In many departments students are eligible for a master's degree 
without submitting a thesis if they have been admitted to candidacy for the 
Ph.D. degree prior to March 1 of the year in which the degree is to be awarded. 

More specific information about requirements for advanced degrees in 
each field of study is given under department headings in the section of this 
catalog describing course offerings, which begins on page 103. 

Students may pursue their graduate research projects during the sum- 
mer months by enrolling in appropriate summer study and research pro- 
grams. The tuition fee is waived for full-time continuing students. 



Language Requirements. Foreign language requirements for the 
master's and doctoral degrees are established by the individual departments 
according to the need for foreign languages in the conduct of research and 
scholarship in their respective fields. 



Approval of Candidacy. A student seeking the master's or doctoral de- 
gree must submit a petition through the departmental chairman to the 
Graduate Council for the approval of candidacy. The chairman must certify 
that the applicant has fulfilled the departmental requirements and provide a 
transcript or other evidence that the work within the department is of high 
quality. 

The final oral examination can be given only after the candidacy has been 
approved by the Graduate Council. 

Applications for the approval of candidacy for the Ph.D. degree must be 
filed in the Office of Advanced Studies and Research prior to Novemeber 1, and 
for the master's degree prior to 'March 1, of the academic year in which 
graduation is expected. The approval is vailid for two years if for the master's 
degree and four years if for the Ph.D. degree (some departments set a time 
limitation of less than four years). This schedule assures adequate time for 
preparation, review, and revision of the thesis which documents the actual 
scholarly research project which the student has pursued. The student must 
have been approved for the candidacy for the Ph.D. before the beginning of 
the seventh semester of residency at Rice in order to be eligible for continued 
financial support. Appointments and support of graduate study are not con- 
tinued for more than four years except in legitimate cases approved by the 
Graduate Council. 



92 INFORMATION FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS 

Oral Examinations. A committee for the oral examination is named by 
the Graduate Council at the time candidacy is approved. The oral Ph.D. com- 
mittee consists of at least three members of the Rice faculty: the thesis direc- 
tor, one other member from the department, and one member in a related field 
outside the department. For the master's oral committee the third member 
may be from within the department. Additional qualified committee mem- 
bers may be selected, with the approval of the Graduate Council. Candidates 
are responsible for informing the members of their committee of the nature of 
the research and its progress; before March 15 the members of the committee 
should review and approve the thesis in preliminary form in order for the 
candidate to be eligible to receive the degree in the May commencement. 

The oral examination may be scheduled at any time prior to the beginning 
of examination week in either semester. For the Ph.D. degree, the exam- 
ination must be announced in the university calendar the previous week. In 
appropriate circumstances an oral examination for the Ph.D. may be sched- 
uled during the summer and the posting of notice of the time and place on the 
bulletin board of Fondren Library the preceding week will be acceptable as 
the public announcement. For the master's degree public notice of the oral 
examination should be posted on the departmental bulletin board one week in 
advance. 

The length of the examination and the character of the subject matter on 
which the candidate will be examined are left to the judgment of the commit- 
tee. Should the candidate fail, the chairman may schedule a second examina- 
tion. In the event of a second failure, the student will be required to withdraw 
from the university. Following the successful passing of the oral examination 
in defense of the thesis, the three copies of the dissertation must be submitted to 
the dean of Advanced Studies and Research no later than one year from the 
date of the examination. 

Thesis Regulations and Procedure. The thesis, which is the principal 
record of work for an advanced degree, will be permanently preserved in the 
library. Directions are provided upon approval of candidacy for the standard 
form which must be followed in detail. Copies of these instructions may be 
obtained from the Office of Advanced Studies and Research. Students submit- 
ting a dissertation for the Doctor of Philosophy degree must fill out a Survey of 
Earned Doctorates form and a University Microfilm contract. Fees for the 
microfilming and binding of the dissertation are to be paid to the cashier prior 
to submission of the three copies to the dean. The deadline for acceptance of 
the thesis by the dean is 12:00 noon of the next to last Friday preceding 
commencement. 

Professional Degrees 

Rice University offers several advanced degree programs which prepare 
students for positions in fields such as accounting, business and public man- 
agement, architecture, mathematical sciences, engineering, secondary educa- 
tion, and music. 

Requirements for professional master's degrees usually include the suc- 
cessful completion of ten or more courses at the graduate level. Candidates for 
the nonthesis professional master's degree are not required to take an oral 
examination, although some departments may give a final oral, but all stu- 
dents for this degree must petition for approval of candidacy prior to March 1 
of the year in which they anticipate graduation. The specific requirements for 



PROFESSIONAL DEGREES 93 

each professional master's degree and the regulation of these programs are 
normally the responsibility of the departments involved and the Graduate 
Council. Some information on individual departmental requirements is given 
below; further details are presented in this catalog with the listing for the de- 
partment concerned in the Courses of Instruction section. 

I V ■ 

Accounting and Management 

The Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Administration offers two profes- 
sional degrees, the Master of Accounting and Master of Business and Public 
Management, as well as the Doctor of Philosophy in Accounting. Applicants to 
these programs must submit scores on the Graduate Management Aptitude 
Test (GMAT), all college transcripts, and three letters of recommendation. 
Application materials may be obtained from the Office of the Dean, Jesse H. 
Jones Graduate School of Administration. 

Admission to the Jones School is open to undergraduates from Rice or 
other universities, regardless of undergraduate major, but is highly selective 
and limited to those who have performed with distinction in their previous 
academic work and on the GMAT. Exceptional students from Rice and other 
cooperating universities may be admitted to the Jones School after completion 
of their junior year. 

For admission to either master's degree program, undergraduates should 
take the following Rice courses or their equivalents: Accounting 305 (Intro- 
duction to Accounting) and Economics 211 (Principles of Economics). For 
the Master of Accounting program, the following Rice course or its equivalent 
should also be taken: Mathematical Sciences 222 (Business Data Processing). 
Students may be admitted without such coursework but must complete these 
requirements without graduate credit prior to entering graduate courses. 

Completion of the Master of Accounting program requires one to two 
academic years, depending upon the student's undergraduate preparation, 
while the Master of Business and Public Management program requires two 
academic years. To qualify for either degree, the student must maintain a 2 
("B") average and may be required to pass an oral examination during the last 
semester in residence. 

For further information regarding these programs, consult the section for 
the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Administration (Accounting and Ad- 
ministrative Science) in the Courses of Instruction listing. 

Architecture 

An applicant for admission to the professional master's degree program 
in architecture should write to the director of the Rice University School of 
Architecture for specific information about the program for which the appli- 
cant would be qualified by education and experience. Completed application 
materials include the Rice University Application for Graduate Study form, 
transcript(s). Graduate Record Examination scores, a portfolio of the appli- 
cant's work, and a minimum of three letters of recommendation. Candidates 
will be evaluated on the basis of their academic records and the quality of the 
design portfolio. 

Education 

The Master of Arts in Teaching is a professional degree program for 
students wishing to qualify for secondary school teaching following a liberal 



94 INFORMATION FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS 

undergraduate education. The degree involves one academic year and two 
summers of satisfactory graduate work consisting of (1) coursework in the field 
of teaching and in the candidate's two subject-matter fields and (2) teaching 
internship. 

Admission to. the graduate education program at Rice is open to Rice 
graduates and to appropriately prepared students from other universities who 
have received a bachelor's degree and who present evidence of scholarly abil- 
ity and motivation. Applicants will be expected to take the Aptitude Test and 
appropriate Advanced Tests of the Graduate Record Examination Program. 
Applications will be reviewed and admission determined by the Rice Teacher 
Education Council. 

Requirements for the Master of Arts in Teaching will be found in the 
Education Department section of the Courses of Instruction listing. 

Engineering 

Applications for admission to the professional master's degree program in 
a specified branch of engineering are considered by the Graduate Council 
upon recommendation of the various departments and the Engineering 
Committee on Professional Masters Degrees. Candidates are required to com- 
plete ten advanced courses (numbered 300 or higher) in addition to satisfying 
the requirements of an approved bachelor's degree program. The ten ad- 
vanced courses include at least four at the 500 or 600 level indicating profes- 
sional study in depth of a particular area. Four of the remaining six courses 
are used for additional professional concentration or to add some breadth in 
another technical area as determined by the department. Courses may not be 
taken on a pass-fail basis in satisfaction of these course requirements. The 
student's major department must approve the overall program. Programs 
which depart from these guidelines must have specific approval of the En- 
gineering Committee on Professional Masters Degrees and the Graduate 
Council. 

Students are recommended for degrees by their departments if they make 
at least four grades of 1 or 2 and no more than one grade of 4. 

Chemical Engineering. Flexibility in course planning permits special- 
ization in such areas as economics, nuclear engineering, reservoir engineer- 
ing, process control, optimization and systems analysis, applied mathematics, 
materials science, kinetics, and catalysis. 

Civil Engineering. The detailed program of each student is formulated 
in consultation with a departmental adviser. The student's area of concentra- 
tion (at least five courses) will be structures and mechanics. Some specializa- 
tion in solid mechanics, geotechnicical engineering, or applied mathematics is 
possible within the structures and mechanics concentration. 

Electrical Engineering. Technical electives permit some specialization 
in the general areas of bioengineering, systems and information theory, solid- 
state and physical electronics, and computer science and engineering. 

Environmental Engineering. Proper course planning will permit 
specialization in water resources, air resources, pollution control, process 
design and optimization, mathematical modeling, applied mathematics, 
urban systems, and environmental planning. 

Environmental Science. Flexibility in choice of electives permits con- 
centration in such areas as the biology, physics, chemistry, and geology of en- 
vironmental planning and management, pollution detection and control, ap- 
plied mathematics, and urban systems analysis. 



PROFESSIONAL DEGREES 95 

Materials Science. After successful completion of a bachelor's degree in 
materials science or a related field a student may proceed to the professional 
Master of Materials Science by choosing eight courses in materials science or 
related fields plus two free electives. 

Mechanical Engineering. For properly qualified students, flexibility in 
course requirements permits specialization in thermal sciences and energy 
conversion, gas dynamics, hydrodynamics and ocean engineering, stress 
analysis and mechanical behavior of materials, aerospace engineering, air 
pollution, and materials engineering. 

Mathematical Sciences 

An applicant for admission to graduate study for the professional master's 
degree in mathematical sciences should obtain specific information about the 
program and the application form from the chairman of the Mathematical 
Sciences Department. The completed form with transcript(s) and recom- 
mendations, in the case of students who are not undergraduate students at 
Rice, should be returned to the department. Candidates are evaluated on their 
previous academic records and their potential for success in and benefit from 
the professional program. 

Music 

The Shepherd School will accept applications for admissions to its Master 
of Music program from recipients of a bachelor's degree from other accredited 
institutions. Candidates for the Master of Music degree may be required to 
take additional work at the undergraduate level before continuing their 
graduate study, as determined by the faculty of The Shepherd School. 

For a description of The Shepherd School of Music five-year professional 
degree, the Master of Music with the Bachelor of Music awarded simultane- 
ously, see Music in the Courses of Instruction section. 



Cooperative Graduate Programs 



Joint Graduate Programs with Baylor College of Medicine 

These programs are designed to provide educational experiences of high 
quality leading to research careers in medicine, as, for example, in biomedical 
engineering research. They are directed toward a small number of highly 
qualified students, with sufficient undergraduate background in mathematics 
and the physical sciences to undertake graduate w^ork and thesis research. In 
addition, students must have completed the course work in biological and 
social sciences required for entrance into medical school. The participants in 
these programs may secure admission to the M.D. curriculum at Baylor Col- 
lege of Medicine as well as to graduate study at Rice, and must fulfill the 
respective coursework and degree candidacy requirements at both institutions. 
Successful completion of a program results in the M.D. from Baylor and the 
M.S. or Ph.D. from Rice, usually within a period shorter by at least one year 
than the time required to obtain these degrees separately. The joint programs 
offer a unique combination of professional medical training with rigorous 
study in a science or engineering discipline and emphasize an interdisciplinary 
approach to current problems in biomedicine. These programs are currently 



96 INFORMATION FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS 

active in the departments of Electrical Engineering (Bioengineering), Chemi- 
cal Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering and are under consideration in 
other disciplines. Additional information may be obtained from the respective 
departments. 

Joint Graduate Program in History and Law 

This selective program combines graduate work in legal and constitutional 
history at Rice University with professional work in law at the Bates College of 
Law, University of Houston, or at the Law School of Texas Southern Univer- 
sity. Students in their first or second year of law school may apply for participa- 
tion through their law school to Rice. Participants will spend one year at Rice in 
the Master of Arts program, concentrating on legal and constitutional history. 
After having completed this year of residence and all requirements for the 
M.A. except the thesis, the student will return to law school to finish his or her 
legal studies. During the last year of law school, the student will complete a 
suitable M.A. -level research thesis on a topic in legal and/or constitutional 
history selected with the approval of the law school instructor and the student's 
Rice history adviser. The student who completes this program will receive a law 
degree from his or her law school as well as an M.A. in history from Rice. 

Admission to Graduate Study 

Graduate study is open to well qualified students who possess adequate 
background in the field of study they wish to pursue. Normally, but not always, 
the equivalent of an undergraduate major in the field is required, but the final 
judgment of preparation rests with the department concerned; the emphasis is 
on the quality of the applicant's preparation rather than on the academic 
program pursued or credits earned in achieving it. Applicants for graduate 
study should arrange to take the Graduate Record Examination since these 
tests offer an additional opportunity for applicants to demonstrate the quality 
and depth of their knowledge in the field of study. Completed applications are 
forwarded by the various departments to the chairman of the Graduate Coun- 
cil for review and action. 

Each graduate student will be advised by the departmental chairman or 
an officially designated faculty member in planning the initial semester of 
graduate study. Sometime during the first year of graduate work each student 
should identify with an adviser who will help plan both the course program 
and the thesis or special project. 

Research Degrees 

An applicant for admission to graduate study for a research degree should 
address all communications to the chairman of the appropriate department. 
The chairman will provide the relevant information about the graduate pro- 
gram and the appropriate application form. The completed form, with the 
transcript and recommendations, should be returned to the chairman of the 
department. After a departmental committee has made a preliminary evalua- 
tion, the application form and other documents will be transmitted by the 
chairman to the Graduate Council for final action. Candidates are evaluated 
on their previous academic records, test scores available, and their qualifica- 
tions to pursue advanced study. Their capacity for research is primarily 
determined through references from scholars under whom they have studied. 



ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STUDY 97 

In addition to any specific requirements of tlie department, the applicant 
will be expected to have at least a 2 or "B" average in undergraduate work. 
Preference will be given to applicants who earn high scores on the Graduate 
Record Examination. Arrangements to take this examination may be made 
directly with the Educational Testing Service, Box 955, Princeton, New Jersey 
08540 or Box 1502, Berkeley, California 94701. Applicants in the Houston 
area may also apply in person to the Office of Advanced Studies and Research 
at Rice for necessary forms. 

Normally, all graduate students will be assigned a limited amount of 
teaching as part of their training for advanced degrees. 

Advanced study and research programs leading to the Doctor of 
Philosophy degree are available in twenty-five areas of study and normally are 
operated by the departments concerned. Most details of the various depart- 
mental requirements for the Ph.D. are found in this catalog under the listings 
of the individual departments; complete information may be obtained by con- 
tacting the appropriate departmental chairman. 

Class III Students 

Students with an undergraduate or graduate degree from an accredited 
college or university may enroll as Class III students and take courses for 
credit without being admitted to a specific degree program. Courses taken 
under this arrangement cannot later be used to fulfill the requirements for an 
advanced degree at Rice until the student has applied to the appropriate 
department, been recommended for admission, and been officially admitted 
by the Graduate Council. Such part-time study may be used to fulfill the 
residence requirements for either master's or Ph.D. degrees upon official 
admission. Further information on enrollment of Class III students is found 
on page 71. 



Tuition, Fees, and Expenses 



Tuition for full-time students enrolled in the graduate division is $2,500 
per year ($1,250 per semester) for all students through six semesters. In 
addition, each full-time graduate student pays a health service fee of $66 per 
year ($33 per semester) and a Graduate Student Association fee of $3. After six 
semesters students continuing any phase of their studies including work on 
their dissertation, on or off campus, must be registered and are subject to a 
tuition fee of $200 per year ($100 per semester). Continuous involvement and 
enrollment are expected. Failure to register for any period without a leave of 
absence granted by the Graduate Council will require reapplication by the 
student, approval of the Graduate Council for readmission, and the payment 
of the tuition for up to two missed semesters plus a special registration fee of 
$100. A leave of absence is granted only before registration each semester and 
must have the approval of the department chairman and the Graduate Coun- 
cil. A reactivation fee of $25 will be required upon return. 

The graduate programs at Rice are designed for full-time study, but in 
special circumstances a limited number of students may be admitted on a 
part-time basis. The part-time tuition is $125 per semester hour plus $50 
registration fee each semester, the total not to exceed $1250 per semester. The 
tuition for summer study and research, which is applicable to part-time stu- 
dents, is $200; there is no summer registration fee. 



98 INFORMATION FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS 

Graduate students who have fulfilled all requirements for the degree 
sought, including the thesis and/or final public oral examination, not already 
registered under one of the categories above, must be registered as "Require- 
ments complete — registering for degree only" for the spring semester in 
which the degree is awarded. This requires the payment of a registration fee of 
$50, plus the diploma fee. This registration fee is not refundable and may not 
be carried forward to a later year. The diploma fee is not refundable but may 
be carried forward for one year if a diploma is not prepared. The deadline for 
payment of the fees or cancellation of the diploma is eight weeks prior to the 
date scheduled for the graduation ceremonies. 

All students are required to carry health insurance. Such insurance is 
available through the director of student activities. This expense is not in- 
cluded in the tuition or fees. 

For an annual fee of $4, a graduate student may purchase admittance to 
all regularly scheduled athletic events. If married, a student may purchase a 
season ticket for a spouse at a reduced rate of one-half the regular price, 
provided the season ticket is purchased at the beginning of the fall term. 

The tuition and fees for graduate students as set forth above are subject to 
change from time to time as the operating expenses of the university change. 

Fellowships, Scholarships, and Prizes 

Memorial Fellowships, Honors, and Prizes. Provision is made for a 
variety of fellowships available to graduates of this and other universities. 
There are several memorial fellowships that have been founded and endowed 
by gift or bequest on the part of friends of Rice University. These provide 
stipends designed to enable the holders to devote their time to atudy and 
research in their chosen fields. There are also several industrial fellowships 
maintained by companies interested in the development of technical fields and 
the training of competent scientists and engineers. 

Persons desiring to be considered for appointment as fellows should 
consult with the department in which they desire to do research.

Rice Graduate Fellowships. Graduate students with high academic rec- 
ords and outstanding qualifications may receive assistance through awards of 
Rice University Fellowships. These appointments in most cases provide a 
stipend plus tuition for the nine-month academic period. Some research assis- 
tant positions or special fellowships may be available to provide support during 
the summer months. Appointees must be engaged in full-time graduate study. 

In some departments, Rice Teaching Assistantships may be available to 
qualified advanced (third- or fourth-year) students. If exceptional teaching 
ability has been demonstrated, a student may be appointed to a Teaching 
Associateship. 

Graduate Tuition Scholarships. Students whose previous records show 
marked promise but for whom no graduate fellowships are available may, 
especially in their first year of graduate study, be awarded full or partial 
graduate tuition scholarships without stipend. Graduate scholars must carry a 
full schedule of graduate work. 

Tuition grants based on need for financial assistance are available to 
students in the professional master's degree program in engineering. Nor- 
mally Rice engineering students who have received financial aid from the 
university during their undergraduate years may anticipate continuation of 
assistance as needed for the year of professional study. Others must file the 
Financial Aid Form, which is the usual application for financial assistance 
through the College Scholarship Service. Information is available from the 
Financial Aid Office. 



100 INFORMATION FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS 

Scholarships which provide both tuition and stipends are also available for 
a limited number of graduate students who are participants in the Army or 
Navy ROTC programs. For information on these scholarships, contact the 
departments of Military or Naval Science. 

Financial Aid 

Financial aid is available to graduate students through the National 
Direct Student Loan, Texas Tuition Equalization Grant, and the Federally 
Insured Student Loan programs. This aid is based on financial need. Applica- 
tion may be made through the Rice University Financial Aid Office. 

Assistance through the National Direct Student Loan program may not 
exceed $2,500 per academic year for four years. The interest rate is a simple 3 
percent on the outstanding balance and interest does not begin to accrue until 
nine months after a student ceases to be enrolled. 

The Texas Tuition Equalization Grant Program provides a maximum of 
$600 per year to eligible Texas residents. No repayment of the grant is 
required. 

Under the Federally Insured Loan program borrowers must make their 
own arrangements directly with a lending agency such as a bank, savings and 
loan agency, credit union, or, in some instances, their home state. The loan will 
be guaranteed by the federal government if the adjusted family income is 
$25,000 or less. The maximum loan for which a student may apply is $2,500 
per academic year and the interest rate is 7 percent. Repayment does not begin 
until nine or twelve months after the student ceases to be a student; however, 
interest commences to accrue immediately. If a student is eligible for federal 
interest benefits, the federal government will pay the interest while the 
student is in school. 

Applicants for these loan programs must be American citizens, or perma- 
nent residents, be enrolled at least half time, and prove financial need by filing 
the Financial Aid Form. This statement is submitted to the College Scholar- 
ship Service for processing and evaluation and a small fee is required. 

A Gulf Oil Corporation Foundation loan fund is also available to students 
who are working toward a degree to assist them in meeting educational ex- 
penses. The Financial Aid Form is required. The funds of this loan program are 
limited. Interested persons may contact the Financial Aid Office. 

Graduate students wishing to apply for a loan under any of these loan 
programs should commence application procedures the summer prior to the 
academic year for which they are seeking assistance. Detailed information 
and application forms are available in the Financial Aid Office. 

An Emergency Loan Fund, originally provided through gifts from the 
Graduate Wives Club of 1972-1973, the Graduate Student Association, and 
various faculty members, is available to help graduate students at Rice with 
short-term needs. Loans from this fund are limited to $100 and must be repaid 
within three months. A charge of $1 is made for loans up to $50 and $2 for 
loans over $50, in lieu of interest and to help build up the fund. 

Graduate Student Life 

Graduate Student Responsibility 

Rice University encourages student self discipline within the framework 
of its general objectives. Each member of the community is expected to govern 
his or her conduct by standards of good taste and ethical judgment and to 



GRADUATE STUDENT LIFE 101 

exercise personal responsibility. 

The university reserves the right to require the withdrawal of any 
students whose failure to accept responsibilities as evidenced by conduct or 
their scholastic achievements is considered detrimental to their own or the 
university's best interests. 



The Honor System 

Graduate students are expected to observe the provisions of the honor 
code. The provisions of the honor system are summarized on page 83. 



Fondren Library 

Fondren Library provides extensive resources for advanced study and 
research among its collections. Several notable research collections are: Civil 
War imprints, broadsides, and manuscripts; Austrian history and literature; 
the Axson Collection of Restoration and eighteenth-century plays; the Nadler 
German language and literature collection; microform holdings of early 
American publications. 

Fondren's collections can be supplemented through interlibrary loans. 
Through membership in the Center for Research Libraries, Fondren has 
access to holdings of more than 3,000,000 volumes, 15,000 journal subscrip- 
tions, and numerous special collections. Fondren also provides carrels for the 
use of graduate students and faculty and a research center housing rare books, 
manuscripts, and other special materials. 



Graduate Student Government and Organizations 

All full-time graduate students are members of the Graduate Student 
Association. It is the sole organ representing the graduate students as a body. 
Part-time graduate students may become members of the association upon 
payment of the necessary fee. The governing body of this organization is the 
Graduate Student Association Council, consisting of a chairman, a secretary, a 
treasurer, and a representative from each department offering graduate study. 
Graduate students also participate in university affairs through their repre- 
sentatives on many of the standing committees appointed by the president, 
such as the Graduate Council, and on various departmental committees as well. 

Wives of graduate students are invited to be members of the Graduate 
Wives Club, which helps provide social opportunities for Rice students and 
their families. 



Housing 

At present the university has no campus housing for graduate students. 
Graduate students may apply for membership in the residential colleges, but 
at present the demand for on-campus space in the colleges by undergraduates 
exceeds the available rooms. Within walking distance of the campus there are 
rooms and apartments for rent. For the convenience of new students, the 
Student Association keeps a record of rooms and apartments about which it 
has been notified, and the daily newspapers list still others. Incoming grad- 
uate students are advised to arrive in Houston several days early in order to 
find lodging. 



102 INFORMATION FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS 

The Student Health Service 

A health service is maintained on campus to provide limited medical care 
including emergency first aid. Limited psychiatric consultation is also avail- 
able. For more information about the services provided refer to page 85. 



Student Automobiles 

All automobiles on campus must be registered with the Rice University 
Police Department. For more information refer to page 87. 




Courses of 
Instruction 



Academic departments are listed in tliis section alpliabetically with com- 
plete lists and descriptions of courses offered. Most departments also give 
specific requirements for students both at the undergraduate and graduate 
levels. These statements are supplemental to the university degree require- 
ments described on pages 50 and 51. 

Beginning in 1978-1979, major requirements for graduation will be desig- 
nated in semester hours instead of semester courses as previously given. 
Students enrolled at Rice in a degree program prior to or at the beginning of 
the fall semester 1978 have the option of completing university and major 
requirements for their degree according to either semester courses or 
semester hours. Students entering after fall 1978 will fulfill the semester hour 
requirements. On the following pages departmental requirements are given 
in semester hours (to include all courses, laboratories, and tutorial sections). 
The corresponding requirement in courses (which refers only to courses of 
three or more semester hours and does not include associated laboratories or 
tutorial sections of less than three semester hours that may also be required) 
is shown in parenthesis. 

Courses numbered below 300 are lower-level or introductory courses. 
Those numbered 300 to 499 are designated as advanced courses. Advanced 
courses are open to freshman and sophomore students with proper prerequi- 
sites and to graduate students on approval of the individual student's adviser. 
Courses designed for graduate students are numbered 500 and above. The 
methods of presentation and quality of work expected make them generally 
unsuited to undergraduate participation. Undergraduates are permitted to 
enroll in graduate-level courses only after consultation with their advisers and 
with the instructor of the course. 

The letters "a" and "b" following the course number indicate whether the 
course is to be taught in the first or second semester in 1978-1979; "c" indicates 
summer offering. Thus History 201a is taught in the fall semester and History 
202b in the spring semester for the current year. The notation "a,b" indicates 
a course that is to be offered both semesters, while "a/b" indicates a one- 
semester course which will be offered either in the first or second semester 
depending upon the demand. 

Figures in parentheses following the title of each course signify the 
number of class hours per week, the number of laboratory hours per week, and 
the credit in semester hours for the completed course, in that order. Courses 
that will not be offered during the 1978-1979 year are marked with a t- 

Course descriptions in this section illustrate topics within the subject 
matters of the courses. Topics actually covered in the courses may vary from 



103 



104 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 

the examples given. Courses are subject to cancellation or modification, but 
cancellation of a course after final enrollment will occur only in extreme 
circumstances. 

Students may obtain more detailed information about courses from the 
Registrar's Schedule of Courses published each year or by consulting the 
instructor of the course. 

Persons using this catalog to evaluate Rice University transcripts should 
refer to course titles and descriptions, rather than course numbers, to deter- 
mine content, because course numbers are occasionally changed.

The Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Administration was established in 
1974 through a gift from Houston Endowment, Inc. Interdisciplinary in 
nature, the school utilizes faculty of other university departments to augment 
its own still expanding faculty. The school is dedicated to providing unique 
educational opportunities for professional training in the fields of accounting 
and management for highly select graduate students. The curricula leading 
to the degrees of Master of Accounting and Master of Business and Public 
Management are designed to be distinctive in terms of scope, realism, and 
utility. The school also offers a Ph.D. in Accounting, in which students under- 
take highly individualized research studies under the direction of distin- 
guished scholars. 

Undergraduate Program. No undergraduate major is offered in the 
Jones School; however, such undergraduate courses as accounting may be 
used to fulfill major requirements in the interdisciplinary program in 
managerial studies. This degree program is described on page 55. 

Students admitted to the Honors Program in managerial studies may 
elect certain graduate courses in accounting and administration as part of 
their major requirements. In addition, the undergraduate major in man- 
agerial studies may be used to satisfy prerequisites for admission to both the 
Master of Business and Public Management and Master of Accounting 
programs.

Graduate Programs. The Jones Graduate School of Administration 
offers the Master of Accounting and Master of Business and Public Manage- 
ment degrees and the Ph.D. in Accounting. Applicants to these programs 
must submit scores on the Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT), all 
college transcripts, and three letters of recommendation. Application forms 
are available from and should be submitted to the Office of the Dean, Jesse H. 
Jones Graduate School of Administration. Graduates of any university and 
from a broad range of undergraduate majors will be considered. 

Master of Accounting. The Master of Accounting program prepares 
students for professional positions in public accounting as well as for a variety 
of senior financial positions in business and government. Students enrolled in 
the program represent a wide variety of undergraduate majors, including 
economics, managerial studies, mathematics, mathematical sciences, political 
science, history, languages, fine arts, natural sciences, engineering, and 
business administration. 

The Master of Accounting program consists of sixty semester hours plus 
the Dean's Seminar. Up to thirty semester hours of advanced standing may 
be granted to students with appropriate previous preparation. Under- 
graduate preparation for the Master of Accounting program must include, as 
a minimum, the following Rice courses or their equivalents: Accounting 305 
(Introduction to Accounting), Economics 211 (Principles of Economics), and 
Mathematical Sciences 222 (Business Data Processing). These courses are 
generally offered at Rice during the summer session. An accelerated "3-2" 
degree plan is available to exceptional students from Rice and cooperating 
universities in which students may take graduate courses in their senior year, 
thereby completing the master's degree by the end of five years of college 
study. 

The following courses are required for the Master of Accounting program: 
Accounting 511, 512, 513, 521, 522, 527, 551, 552; Administration 531, 532, 
541, 542, 543. In addition, students must complete a minimum of twenty-one 
semester hours of elective course work, of which twelve semester hours must 
be graduate courses in accounting. The remainder of the course work may be 
graduate courses in administration or other appropriate upper-division or 
graduate courses in the university. Students must maintain at least a 2 ("B") 
average and may be required to pass an oral examination during their last 
semester in residence. 

Master of Business and Public Management (M.B.P.M.). The 

M.B.P.M. prepares students for high-level management positions in business, 
government, and nonprofit organizations. 

Completion of the M.B.P.M. program requires a minimum of two aca- 
demic years in residence. Students must successfully complete sixty semester 
hours in administration and related subjects, plus the Dean's Seminar. 
Exceptional students from Rice and other cooperating universities may be 
admitted to the Jones Graduate School of Administration after completion of 
their junior year. Students who are accepted will be able, during their senior 
year, to take courses leading to a M.B.P.M. degree and to count their senior 
year toward the two-year residence requirement. 

Undergraduate preparation for the M.B.P.M. program should include 
the following Rice courses or their equivalents: Accounting 305 (Introduction 
to Accounting) and Economics 211 (Principles of Economics). 

The determination of the course program for the M.B.P.M. degree 
depends upon the student's previous preparation and present area of interest. 



106 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 

About three-fourths of the course work is part of a required core curriculum, 
some of which may be waived depending on previous preparation. Each 
student is required to select an area of concentration for elective courses. Upon 
entering the program, each student, with the assistance of an adviser, will 
select courses to meet the student's goals and objectives. Most courses will be 
in administration and accounting, but they may also include graduate or 
upper-division offerings in other departments. Students must maintain at 
least a 2 ("B") average and may be required to pass an oral examination 
during the last semester in residence. 

Doctor of Philosophy in Accounting. The Ph.D. program in accounting 
prepares candidates for teaching and research careers in accounting. The 
program, which emphasizes research in accounting theory, usually requires 
two years beyond the master's degree. Applicants must have a master's degree 
in accounting or an equivalent degree. 

After completing one year of courses and demonstrating proficiency in a 
related area of concentration, the student is required to pass a general qualify- 
ing examination consisting of oral and written parts. Successful completion of 
this examination qualifies the student to prepare a dissertation that represents 
an original contribution to the field of accounting.

The Undergraduate Major in Anthropology. Anthropology is a 
discipline that encompasses many subjects of study, all related to under- 
standing man and his culture. A student may organize a major in one or more of 
anthropology's principal fields or may combine a major in anthropology with 
one in another discipline. Students majoring in anthropology are required to 
take a total of thirty semester hours in anthropology (ten semester courses) 
including Anthropology 201 and nine other courses, seven of which must be 
upper-level courses. With the approval of the departmental adviser, a maxi- 
mum of two semester courses in biology, history, and the social sciences may be 
substituted for courses in anthropology. Within the general requirements, the 
program of each student majoring in anthropology is planned to meet individual 
interests and plans for future careers. Majors who plan to pursue graduate 
training toward a professional career in anthropology will need a reading 
knowledge of one or two European languages and are urged to enroll in under- 
graduate language courses. These majors are also urged to apply for admission 
to the honors program. 

In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students must 
also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 90 
semester hours outside the departmental requirements, for a total program 
of at least 120 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 
50 and 51. 

Honors Program. The department offers an honors program to provide 
selected undergraduate majors with an opportunity to receive advanced train- 
ing, particularly in the planning and execution of independent research, 
within their chosen areas of specialization in anthropology. Students accepted 
into the program will undertake research leading to a thesis which must be 
presented at the end of the first semester of the senior year. Admission to 
the program and acceptance of the thesis is determined by the Honors Com- 
mittee. Interested students may apply to the honors program chairman, Mr. 
Cushman, during the first semester of the junior year.

The School of Architecture seeks to contribute through teaching and 
research to a more humane environment. Its primary educational missons are 
teaching and research, development of a broad liberal education for under- 
graduates in the allied sciences and arts of architecture, and professional 
education at the graduate and post graduate level in architecture and urban 
design. 

These programs are offered in the setting of a small school to provide 
intimate student-faculty interaction, freedom for learning, and unrestricted 
institutional cooperation within and outside the university. 



Degrees Offered. Five degrees are offered: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of 
Architecture, Master of Architecture, Master of Architecture in Urban De- 
sign, and Doctor of Architecture. The Bachelor of Arts, a liberal arts degree, 
may emphasize a major in either architecture or architectural studies; the two 
programs are described below. The B.A. is awarded after successful comple- 
tion of the first four years of study. The Bachelor of Architecture is available to 
recipients of the B.A. degree from Rice and requires two additional years of 
work, one of which will be an in-service preceptorship in a professional office. 

The master's degrees are awarded after successful completion of one and 
one-half to three and one-half years of study beyond the B.A., depending upon 
previous undergraduate and professional studies. Recipients of the B.A. degree 



116 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 

from Rice normally undertake a minimum of three years of further work for 
one of the Master of Architecture degrees of which one year will be an in- 
service preceptorship in a professional office. Approval of Rice students for 
admission to either bachelor's or master's programs is contingent upon evalua- 
tion of the student's undergraduate academic record at the conclusion of the 
fourth year of study. Other applicants for the master's degree are evaluated in 
terms of their prior preparation, which may reduce their required period of 
study at Rice. The Master of Architecture is an accredited first professional 
degree, whereas the Master of Architecture in Urban Design requires prior or 
concurrent completion of accredited bachelor's or master's degrees. 



Undergraduate Program in Architecture. For both the B.A. and the 
B.Arch. degrees, the first two years center upon a carefully integrated study of 
the principles of architecture. In the third and fourth years students are en- 
couraged to develop their own interests and talents through an individual set 
of seminars, studio projects, and interdisciplinary courses. 

Below is a suggested course of study for either the B.A. or the B.Arch. 
degree. The order in which courses are taken is optional subject to the follow- 
ing exceptions: (1) health and physical education must be taken in the fresh- 
man year, and (2) failure to take prerequisite courses in the earlier years may 
cause serious problems later on. 



First year: 

History of Art, six semester hours 

(two semester courses) 
Physics 121, 122 (for architects) 
Architecture 101, 102 
Electives, twelve semester hours 

(four semester courses) 
Physical Education 
ROTC, if elected 



Second year: 

Architecture 201, 202 
Architecture 213, 214 
History of Art, six semester hours 

(two semester courses) 
Electives, twelve semester hours 

(four semester courses) 
ROTC, if elected 



Third and foiuih years: 

Architecture 301, 302 
Architecture 401, 402 
Architecture 313, 314 
Electives, at least thirty semester 
hours (ten semester courses) 

Preceptorship year: 
Architecture 500 



Fifth year (B. Arch, program): 

Architecture 601, 602 

Electives, at least twelve semester 

hours (four semester courses) 
Electives (for M.Arch. applicants; 

at least six semester hours or two 

semester courses) 



In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students 
must also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 38 
semester hours outside the departmental requirements, for a total program of 
at least 130 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 50 
and 51. 



ARCHITECTURE 117 

B.A. students have two options in tlieir choice of a preprofessional major 
during the third and fourth years: 

(1) The architecture major requires two years of advanced studio courses 
and additional professional group requirements that permit reasonable elec- 
tive freedom. This curriculum serves the needs of students who anticipate 
professional studies at an advanced level and who wish to have the alternatives 
of doing so through either the Bachelor of Architecture at Rice or various first 
professional master's degrees at Rice or other institutions. 



(2) The architectural studies major requires two years of advanced 
work combining architectural studies with other fields. It is focused on an ap- 
proved, preprofessional theme for interdisciplinary studies chosen by the in- 
dividual and approved by an adviser. Application to this program must be 
made during the second year of studies. Reduced architectural course require- 
ments encourage the pursuit of a double major with another department. This 
curriculum can be regarded as a liberal arts education for its own sake, but it 
also offers opportunity to prepare for a wide variety of graduate studies and 
career options in different design and planning related fields at Rice or other 
institutions. This program provides opportunity to pursue architectural or 
urban design master's degree programs at Rice by entering through the 
Qualifying Graduate Workshop program, but it does not include the option of a 
Rice Bachelor of Architecture. 

Upon satisfactory completion of the B.A. degree with either above major, 
students may apply during the senior year for admission to the appropriate 
advanced professional degree programs. 

Auxiliary services at Rice span the gap between school and practice: the 
preceptorship program, the visiting lecturer series, and the visiting critic 
series. The preceptorship program is designed to bridge classroom studio 
learning and professional practice. Qualified students who have been admitted 
to the professional degree programs work for an entire year with outstanding 
architects throughout the world who are designated by the school as preceptors. 
The timing of preceptorship service varies according to the level of design and 
technical proficiency reached during the B.A. program. For those admitted to 
the Bachelor of Architecture the preceptorship will occur immediately on the 
receipt of the B.A. 

Notes 

1. History of Art 205, 206 are required in the first two years and will be sched- 
uled where history of art electives are noted. History of Art 345, 346 are re- 
quired for a major in architecture. 

2. Electives must satisfy School of Architecture distribution requirements in 
addition to general university requirements. 

3. A student who has studied physics in high school may substitute approved 
natural science courses in place of physics. 

4. Studio courses (Architecture 201, 202; 301, 302; and 401, 402) which carry 
six semester hours each semester in the sophomore, junior, and senior years 
count toward graduation as the equivalent of one course per semester in the 
sophomore year and as two courses per semester in the junior and senior 
years. 



118 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 

5. Students contemplating later specialization in the fields of structural 
or environmental engineering are advised to take Mathematics 101, 102 
and Physics 101, 102 and 132. 



Graduate Programs in Architecture. The School of Architecture offers 
the degrees of Master of Architecture and Master of Architecture in Urban 
Design. Within the two degree programs varied areas of interest are open to 
students, including: 

1. Housing and community development 

2. Community facilities and community development 

3. Transportation and urban infrastructure 

4. Health care facilities and delivery systems 

5. Land and natural resource utilization 

An advanced building design curriculum is the basis for the Master of 
Architecture degree program. This program is designed to provide the stu- 
dent an individual course of study with a wide choice of special project, re- 
search, and internship opportunities both within and outside the School of 
Architecture. 

The first year of the urban design curriculum is composed of studio and 
lecture courses. The second year allows student choice and specialization in 
the areas of interest listed above. 

Joint degree programs with other disciplines are available for students 
with special interests. The Texas School of Public Health offers a cooperative 
program with the Rice School of Architecture. Joint programs within the 
university include behavioral science, computer science and technology, and 
environmental science. 

Clinical practice is an important dimension of graduate education in 
architecture at Rice. Normally, one semester plus a summer (or one summer 
in special cases) will be spent in full-time clinical education for academic cred- 
it during a two-year master's program. Two alternative vehicles for cHnical 
service are available: 

The Rice Center for Community Design and Research is an off-campus, 
nonprofit corporation concernted with practical problems of planning 
and designing, clinical education, public service, contract research, and 
professional services. Students and faculty of the School of Architecture 
are employed in the center, where they serve in professional teams on ac- 
tual projects with experts from many other fields. 

Full time internships provide clinical service in applied research and in- 
novative design projects, under supervision of practitioners in the Hous- 
ton area as determined by the special expertise of the chosen office. 

Graduate studies are open to candidates who hold the degree of Bachelor 
of Architecture, or who have a Bachelor of Arts with a major in architecture. 
Candidates with a Bachelor of Architecture degree are normally expected to 
complete three academic semesters plus one semester of clinical eduation. 
Candidates with a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in architecture are 
normally expected to complete four academic semesters plus one semester of 
clinical education, which may occur in the intervening summer. Students 
without sufficient architectural background are expected to complete a pro- 
gram of special studies before admission to one of the graduate options. This 



ARCHITECTURE 119 

program takes a minimum of two semesters, depending on the individual's 
preparation, and stresses history, theory, technology, and design techniques. 

Students not possessing a prior first professional degree and completing 
the Urban Design program requirements will receive a Master of Architec- 
ture degree with a certificate in Urban Design. 

For students having a bachelor's degree with no architectural back- 
ground the Qualifying Graduate Workshop program is offered. This is norm- 
ally a seven-semester program leading to the Master of Architecture degree. 
The first four semesters consist of special studio offerings plus selected sem- 
inar and lecture courses. The last three semesters are spent in the regular grad- 
uate programs. 

An option for a master's thesis in lieu of part of the clinical education 
requirements is available for students who are oriented toward research 
and teaching in architecture or urban design. 



Doctor of Architecture. Admission to the Doctor of Architecture 
program requires a bachelor's or a master's degree in architecture. A student 
entering with a master's degree normally takes one and one-half years of course 
work before the qualifying examination; a student with a bachelor's degree 
normally requires two and one-half years of course work before the qualifying 
examination. Candidates should be prepared for advanced analytic and 
creative work in their specialized field. Such preparation may include foreign 
languages, statistics, or a computer language. This requirement will be 
established individually when the student is admitted. 

After successful completion of all required course work plus the language 
examination or equivalent, students may apply for the qualifying examination. 
At this time students must submit an outline of their research program for the 
doctoral dissertation. This dissertation must represent an original contribution 
to knowledge in the field of architecture. The completion of the dissertation and 
the passing of the final oral examination required for the doctorate in 
architecture take a minimum of one year.

and film and photography. Majors may elect to concentrate their study in 
any of these areas of specialization. 

Requirements for a Major in Fine Arts. A minimum of thirty-six semes- 
ter hours (twelve semester courses) is required, including at least nine semes- 
ter hours (three courses) in the history of art and nine semester hours (three

courses) selected from studio, film, and photography. Double majors must 
take a minimum of thirty semester hours (ten courses), including at least nine 
semester hours (three courses) in both the creative arts and the history of art. 
History of Art 205, 206 are required of all majors. 

In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students 
must also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 
84 semester hours outside the departmental requirements, for a total pro- 
gram of at least 120 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, 
pages 50 and 51. 

A reading knowledge of French, German, or Italian is strongly recom- 
mended for all majors, especially those who intend to take 300- or 400-level 
courses in the history of art. 

Students interested in further guidance in planning the Bachelor of Arts 
degree with a major in art and art history should consult departmental faculty 
advisers. 

Bachelor of Fine Arts Program. The Bachelor of Fine Arts program 
consists of a fifth year of intensive study in the creative arts to be taken after a 
student has obtained a B.A. degree in art at Rice or its equivalent at another 
university. Candidates possessing a B.A. degree with a major in a field other 
than art may in exceptional cases be admitted to the program. Special fifth- 
year courses are available to the B.F.A. candidate only, in addition to advanced 
courses normally offered by the department. Satisfactory completion of a total 
of thirty semester hours or the equivalent in approved major electives at the 
300, 400, or 500 level is required for the B.F.A. degree. 

Admission to the program is determined by the Committee on Examina- 
tions and Standing on recommendation of the Bachelor of Fine Arts Commit- 
tee. For further information about application forms, deadlines, admission 
standards, and the like, write to the chairman of the Department of Art and 
Art History. 



Sewall Art Gallery 

Chester Boterf, Director 

Sewall Art Gallery, located on the main floor of Sewall Hall, operates 
under the auspices of the Department of Art and Art History. Exhibitions of 
moderate size, usually directly related to departmental courses, are held 
throughout the academic year. Works from the departmental collection, stu- 
dent exhibitions, as well as shows drawn from outside sources are recurrent 
parts of the program. 

Institute for the Arts 

Dominique de Menil, Director 

The Institute for the Arts organizes exhibitions and publishes catalogs of 
national and international interest. It operates the Rice University Museum 
located at the University Boulevard and Stockton Street entrance to the cam- 
pus. Exhibitions of the institute have traveled to major museums in the United 
States and abroad. Visits to the campus by distinguished lecturers, art his- 
torians, and creative artists are sponsored by the institute. 

Educational and other services provided by the Institute for the Arts 
include: the art-to-schools program, a lecture series on art that is presented 
to school children by volunteer docents; the campus loan collection, art avail- 
able for exhibition in various campus facilities; the teaching collection, art 
available to faculty for teaching purposes. 



ART AND ART HISTORY 125 

A large portion of the institute's functions are open to the general public 
as well as the university community and are thus designed to enrich the cul- 
tural ambience not only of the campus but also of the city of which it is a part.

Behavioral Science 



Degree.^ Offered: B.A. (interdisciplinary degree), M.A., Ph.D. 

Undergraduate Program. The major in behavioral science centers on 
a nucleus of courses in anthropology, psychology, and sociology. The student 
will ordinarily, but not necessarily, emphasize one of these three fields. 

Students majoring in behavioral science will be required to take a mini- 
mum of thirty semester hours (ten semester courses) in anthropology, psychol- 
ogy, and sociology, of which twenty-four semester hours (eight courses) must 
be courses numbered 300 or higher. A minimum of six semester hours (two 
courses) in each of the three fields of anthropology, psychology, and sociology is 
required. With the approval of the major adviser, a maximum of six semester 
hours (two courses) in courses numbered 300 or higher in related fields outside 
the core fields may be included in the major. Six semester hours (two courses) 
at the 200 level may be substituted for advanced-level courses if they are in a 
field of the major in which no courses have been taken previously. Students are 
encouraged to plan in consultation with the program adviser an independent 
study course (to be taken in the fall of their senior year) that will integrate the 
varying perspectives of anthropology, psychology, and sociology. 

In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students 
must also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 90 
semester hours outside the departmental requirements, for a total program of 
at least 120 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 50 
and 51. 

Graduate Program. The departments of Anthropology and Sociology 
offer an interdisciplinary graduate program in behavioral science leading 
to the doctorate with specialization in either anthropology or sociology. A 
qualifying examination in either sociology or anthropology must be taken 
at the end of the first year and must be passed not later than the end of 
second year. Comprehensive examinations in either anthropology or sociol- 
ogy must be passed before the student is admitted to candidacy for the 
Ph.D and undertakes work on the doctoral dissertation. Many courses 
given in anthropology and sociology, as well as those bearing the title be- 
havorial science, may be taken by students specializing in either field. The 
program of each student is individually planned to take advantage of in- 
terdisciplinary training. There is no foreign language requirement for ma- 
jors in sociology; competence in one foreign language is usually required of 
majors in anthropology. 

An important part of the student's training is participation in research 
and teaching. Each student will have an individual adviser and will ordinarily 
participate in research programs and teaching. Upon completion of the com- 
prehensive examinations and approval of candidacy for the Ph.D., the M.A. is 



130 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 

optionally offered, but no students who intend to complete only the M.A. are 
admitted to the program. The M.A. as a terminal degree will be awarded only 
in unusual cases. In such cases, the M.A. will require satisfactory completion of 
thirty semester hours of course work approved by an adviser, a passing grade 
on the qualifying examination in the candidate's field of concentration, and a 
thesis. 

Additional information may be obtained from the departments of An- 
thropology and Sociology.

Degrees Offered: B.A.. M.A.. Ph.D. 

Undergraduate Program. Biology majors are required to take eight 
semester hours of introductory biology (Biology 101, 102 and 103, 104), seven 
semester hours of introductory physics (Physics 101, 102 and 132 or 111, 112 



BIOLOGY 133 

and 132 or Physics 121, 122 and 123 or 124), six semester hours of introductory 
mathematics (Mathematics 101, 102 or 103, 106), eight semester hours of in- 
troductory chemistry (Chemistry 101, 102 and 103, 104), eight semester hours 
of organic chemistry (Chemistry 211, 212 and 213, 214), six semester hours of 
general biochemistry (Biochemistry 361), twenty-one semester hours of ad- 
vanced biology electives, and four semester hours of advanced biology labor- 
atory. 

In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students 
must also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 
semester hours outside the departmental requirements, for a total program of 
at least 128 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 50 
and 51. 

Undergraduate Alternative Programs. Up to six semester hours of the 
required advanced biology electives may be satisfied as follows: three semes- 
ter hours in either Biology 401 (402), 403 or a 500-level biology course and 
three semester hours in either Biochemistry 460 or Biochemistry 365. An ad- 
ditional semester of Biology 401 (402) may be substituted for one semester hour 
advanced laboratory credit; Biochemistry 367 may also be substituted for an 
additional one semester hour advanced laboratory credit. With the exception of 
Biochemistry 365, 367, and 460, all courses taken outside the Biology 
Department must be approved by the department for credit toward the major. 

Undergraduate Double Major. Double majors including biology must 
comply with the above requirements for a major except that only fifteen 
semester hours of advanced biology electives are required. Three semester 
hours may be satisfied as described in the above paragraph on undergraduate 
alternative programs. Double majors are also required to take four semester 
hours of advanced biology laboratories (300-level and above). 

Major Following Early Admission to Medical School. A major in biol- 
ogy will normally be approved for students entering medical school at the end 
of their junior year provided they have satisfied the requirements for the 
double major described above. These requirements may be completed follow- 
ing matriculation in medical school only by enrollment in courses offered by 
the department. They may not be satisfied by transfer credit for preclinical 
courses taken in medical school. 

Graduate Program. The graduate program is open to qualified appli- 
cants who hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent. Prospective graduate stu- 
dents must take the Graduate Record Examination, preferably including the 
advanced examination in biology. The entering graduate student generally is 
expected to have a strong background in one of the several areas of biology; in 
addition, completion of courses in physics (one year), mathematics (including 
calculus), and chemistry (including organic) is required. The above require- 
ments do not preclude admission of qualified applicants who have majored in 
areas other than biology. Any deficiencies must be made up no later than the 
first year of residence in graduate study, including the first summer. It is 
strongly recommended that deficiencies be made up during the summer 
preceding the first semester of residence. A preliminary examination will be 
administered during the first year. Students entering with the master's degree 
are normally exempt from this examination. 

Program for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. In addition to the 
general university requirements for advanced degrees (pages 91-92), the follow- 
ing departmental requirements must also be met: 

1. Three or more years of graduate study with at least two years in residence 
at Rice

Degree.'^ Offered: B.A., M.A., Ph.D. 

Undergraduate Program. Undergraduates electing chemistry as a 
major are expected to take the following courses in their freshman year: 
Mathematics 101, 102 (or equivalent honors courses); Physics 101, 102, 132; 
Chemistry 101. 102, 107. In general they will take Chemistry 211, 212 and 
213, 214; Physics 201, 202; and Mathematics 211, 212 in the sophomore year. 
The department further requires satisfactory completion of the following 
courses: 

Junior and Senior Years 

Chemistry 311, 312 and 313, 314 

Chemistry 401 and 403 

Chemistry 430 

Chemistry 460 or 495 

Two additional courses in advanced chemistry, physics, mathematics, 
mathematical sciences, or biochemistry. Superior students may substitute 
undergraduate research (Chemistry 491, 492) for one or two semesters of 
classroom instruction. 

In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students 
must also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 
semester hours outside the departmental requirements, for a total program of 
at least 133 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 50 
and 51. 

American Chemical Society Certification. The Rice chemistry depart- 
ment is on the approved list of the Committee on Professional Training of the 
American Chemical Society and as such can certify that graduates have met 
the appropriate standards. For certification, two additional advanced courses 
are required and a foreign language, preferably German, is recommended. 

Accelerated Ph.D. Plan. Because of the high level of training provided 
in the Rice B.A. program, it is possible for certain especially qualified under- 
graduate students to be admitted to an accelerated program that will norm- 
ally lead to the Ph.D. degree about two years after completion of the B.A. pro- 
gram. In order to complete the work in this time, the student will initiate re- 
search during the summer following the junior year and will continue re- 
search by taking Chemistry 491, 492 during the senior year. The student may 
start taking cumulative examinations during the senior year and should be 
able to complete all courses and examinations before the end of the second year 
after the B.A. The student should in most cases, if not all, be able to complete 
the thesis in this time as well. 



138 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 

Interdepartmental Majors. Interdepartmental majors are offered in 
chemical physics and materials science by the Department of Chemistry in 
conjunction with the Departments of Physics and Materials Science, respec- 
tively. Students electing one of these majors should discuss their programs 
with both the Department of Chemistry and the other department con- 
cerned. 

The Graduate Program. Students who have completed work equivalent 
to that required for the bachelor's degree in chemistry offered at Rice Univer- 
sity may be admitted to graduate standing. Preference is normally given to 
applicants who earn high scores on the Graduate Record Examination, includ- 
ing the advanced test in chemistry (see pages 96 and 97). A minimum of one 
year of graduate study is required for the degree of Master of Arts and at least 
two years for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. A nominal amount of under- 
graduate teaching is normally considered an integral part of the graduate pro- 
gram. 

Candidates for the degree of Master of Arts are required to demonstrate a 
reading knowledge of scientific German, French, or Russian; complete six 
one-semester courses; present in a thesis the results of a program of research 
approved by the department; and pass a final oral examination. 

Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy must complete for 
publication a thesis which represents a distinctly original and significant con- 
tribution to the field of chemistry. They must possess a reading knowledge of 
two modern languages, besides English, in which there is a significant body of 
chemical literature, usually German, French, or Russian. Candidates must 
further have acquired through course work and independent study a broad 
fundamental knowledge of chemistry in addition to those areas of the subject 
encompassed by their own research interests. Cumulative examinations for the 
Ph.D. degree are given periodically and a final oral examination on the thesis 
is required for all candidates.

*Students may take Economics 355 to satisfy this last requirement only if they have taken 
Economics 375 to satisfy the requirements in macro theory. 

Mathematics 101, 102 or 103, 104 and Mathematical Sciences 381 and 480 
are recommended for students intending to do graduate work in economics. 
Furthermore, in lieu of one or two semesters of course work, the department 
offers an independent work program, admission to which is granted on a 
selective basis. 

In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students 
must also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 
semester hours outside the departmental requirements, for a total program of 
at least 120 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 50 
and 51. 

The Graduate Program in Economics. Admission to graduate study in 
economics is granted each year to a limited number of students who hold an 
undergraduate degree (or the equivalent), whether in economics or another 
field. The graduate program is designed primarily for students qualified to 
pursue a course of study leading to the Ph.D. degree. 

Training in mathematics through calculus and linear algebra at the un- 
dergraduate level is advisable but is not a prerequisite for admission. The 
Economics Department also offers graduate work leading to the M.A. degree. 

Candidates for the Ph.D. degree who have good undergraduate prepara- 
tion in economics should expect to devote two to two and one-half years to 
full-time study (or the equivalent) before taking the general examinations 
which must be passed before the submission of the doctoral dissertation. A 
minimum of one additional year is usually necessary for completion of the 
dissertation. Applicants are required to take the Graduate Record Exami- 
nation.

Teacher Education and Certification. Rice University seeks to contri- 
bute graduates to society able to think and to question, educated to compre- 
hend and to cope with a rapidly changing world. Although professional 
instruction is not the primary ingredient of undergraduate education, the 
university's role in preparing students for their future life work cannot be 
ignored. While maintaining complete institutional integrity. Rice University 
supports the intention as well as the letter of regulations promulgated by 
the state governing the development and presentation of teacher preparation 
and certification programs. 

To this end the Rice University Department of Education closely cooper- 
ates with departments offering work in subject-matter fields. It is the function 
of this department to provide rigorous professional courses and to administer 
the established teacher education programs. 

The Rice University teacher education program strives to fit the prospec- 
tive teacher to perform all the roles which may be expected of a teacher. To 
accomplish this objective, it gives sustained close attention to the following 
vitally interrelated components: 

1. A sound liberal or general education 

2. An extended knowledge of the subject(s) or area(s) to be taught 

3. Professional knowledge, as distinguished from professional skills (i.e., 
relevant historical, philosophical, social, and psychological material) 

4. Skills in managing a classroom, in working with children and adults, and in 
the supervision of the learning process. 

Admission to the Undergraduate Teacher Education Program. 

Students who have satisfied the following requirements may apply to the 
Education Council for admission to the teacher education program: 

1. Junior standing at Rice University 

2. Satisfactory completion of History 105, 106 or 211, 212 

3. A grade average of 3 or better in at least 75 percent of all semester hours 
attempted in the teaching field offered for approval

C. Completion of the required professional education courses 

D. Satisfaction of the supervised student teaching requirement (Educa- 
tion 419) as outlined below 

Supervised Teaching Experience. Either of two distinct plans may be 
followed by teacher education candidates. The main difference is the type of 
supervised teaching experience provided. 



148 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 

1. The Apprenticeship Plan (Plan A): 

Prerequisite: Education 311, 312 

Apprenticeship is designed for students who wish to complete prepara- 
tion for their teaching careers in four years and two six-week summer sessions. 
Candidates will enroll for the summer session followingtheir junior year. The 
apprentice will observe teaching, act as a helping teacher, and perhaps teach 
as may be appropriate in the Rice Summer School for High School Students. 

Education 410 is to be completed during the senior year. 

Following graduation from Rice the apprentice will attend the summer 
session for full-time teaching in the Rice Summer School for High School 
Students under the supervision and guidance of a Master Teacher and the 
university staff. While the apprentice spends somewhat less time in student 
teaching than under the internship plan, he or she is not remunerated for the 
teaching service. The apprentice is to be recommended for Texas Provisional 
Teacher's Certificate following successful completion of the second summer 
session. 

2. The Internship Plan (Plan B): 

Prerequisite: twelve semester hours in education courses 
Under this plan students are expected to attend a six-week summer 
session immediately following their graduation from Rice. Each intern will 
observe and teach classes under the supervision of a Master Teacher and a 
university staff member in the Rice Summer School for High School Students. 
During the following fall semester interns will be assigned to classrooms in a 
neighboring school system and may select one of two plans dependent upon the 
availability of a suitable position. 

A. Employed on a full-time basis, the intern will teach three classes, be 
assigned occasionally as a substitute teacher, and perform other school-related 
tasks as stipulated. The intern will be supervised by a teacher at his Assigned 
school and a staff member from the university. During the half year of their 
service, interns will be paid a salary commensurate with the salary being paid 
to substitute teachers by cooperating school systems for their employment as 
classroom teachers. Upon the successful conclusion of the internship semester 
and upon the recommendation of the appropriate secondary school principal, 
the intern will be given preference for a regular teaching position in the spring 
semester should there be a suitable vacancy and will be recommended for a 
Texas Provisional Teacher's Certificate. However, there is no guarantee that 
the intern will be offered a regular teaching position the semester following 
internship. 

B. The intern will be employed for full-time duty and will teach five 
periods per day under the supervision and guidance of a staff member of the 
cooperating school system and a staff member from the university. During the 
half year of service the intern will be paid for employment as a classroom 
teacher a salary commensurate with the salary being paid a full-time teacher 
with a degree and an emergency teaching permit by cooperating school sys- 
tems. Upon successful completion of the internship semester and upon the 
recommendation of the appropriate secondary school principal, the intern 
will be offered a regular teaching contract for the spring semester if a suitable 
vacancy exists and will be recommended for a Texas Provisional Teacher's 
Certificate. 



The Master of Arts in Teaching. The professional education degree is 
based on one academic year and two summers of satisfactory graduate work 



EDUCATION 149 

consisting of the program prescribed below: 

1. Introductory courses in education (during the first summer session) de- 
veloped in conjunction with observation and actual teaching in the Rice 
Summer School for High School Students under the guidance of master 
teachers and university faculty 

2. Courses in secondary school educational theory, teaching strategies, edu- 
cational objectives, and evaluation 

3. Graduate and upper division courses in the candidate's two subject-matter 
teaching fields and/or related fields, equivalent to a full semester of 
graduate study 

4. Supervised teaching internship for one semester in a cooperating public 
school system 

5. Practicum (second summer session). Supervised full-time teaching in the 
Rice Summer School for High School Students. Candidates will be respon- 
sible for the design and implementation of courses, for teaching, and for 
evaluation 

Normally, the degree program will consist of ten semester courses. How- 
ever, some candidates may need to remove deficiencies in their teaching or 
related fields or in state-mandated fields, and may therefore require addi- 
tional time. Candidates will begin their program in the summer preceding 
their academic year of residence. 

Students in the program will not normally be eligible for Rice Graduate 
Fellowships or scholarship support since the cooperating school districts will 
pay a salary for internship teaching. 

Please refer to page 94 for additional information regarding admission to 
the graduate program in education.

The George R. Brown School of Engineering 

Rice's engineering programs have been prominent since the early days of 
the university. The five departments, each of which is strong in teaching and 
research, now comprise the George R. Brown School of Engineering. The 
school was dedicated in 1975 at ceremonies honoring the distinguished Rice 
alumnus, trustee, and benefactor who was a founding partner in Brown & 
Root, Inc. Professor Alan J. Chapman, professor of mechanical engineering 
and a member of the faculty since 1949, is dean of the school. 

General Undergraduate Information. Curricula in engineering at Rice 
University lead to either Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degrees in 
the fields of chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, 
mechanical engineering, and materials science. These curricula are also part 
of integrated five-year programs that lead to professional master's degrees 
in each of the above fields and in environmental science and engineering. 

A student taking the B.A. program in engineering is required to pass a 
total of at least 120 semester hours (forty courses) in order to graduate. The 
major department may require no more than 80 specific semester hours for 
the major and may require fewer. Students must complete at least 60 semester 
hours in addition to the departmental major requirements. Some departments 
require more than 120 semester hours for graduation. 

A student following a B.S. program in engineering (other than chemical 
engineering) must pass a total of at least 134 semester hours in order to 



ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE 151 

graduate (137 semester hours for chemical engineering). Except for chemical 
engineering, which may require up to 104 semester hours in specific course 
requirements, no department may require more than 92 semester hours in 
specific courses for the B.S. degree. Each student should get a list of required 
courses from the appropriate department. Freshmen and sophomores should 
have their programs approved each semester by an engineering adviser as 
well as by their college adviser. Before registering for the junior year students 
must associate themselves with an adviser in the department of their major. 
Registration for every semester thereafter must be approved by an adviser in 
their major department. 

A program which satisfies the requirements of all engineering depart- 
ments for the first year is given below. There is enough difference in the 
second-year requirements so that it is not possible for a student to keep entry 
into all engineering departments open during the second year. Proper orienta- 
tion during the first year, however, should make such a plan unnecessary. All 
courses that are required in the second year by any of the engineering depart- 
ments are also given below. Not all of the second-year courses shown are 
essential in the second year; some may be taken in the third or fourth year. 
There are also some courses that departments recommend but do not require 
in the second year. Thus it is most important for students to pick up lists of 
required and recommended courses from departments they are considering 
for a major. This should be done early enough to plan courses for the second 
year.

velopment. Concurrently, the student has the opportunity of concentration in 



CHEMICAL ENGINEERING 153 

a particular technical specialty such as applied mathematics, biomedical en- 
gineering, nuclear technology, environmental quality, kinetics and catalysis, 
engineering economics, or polymer science and engineering. 

In the four-year curriculum a student may qualify for either the Bachelor 
of Arts degree or the Bachelor of Science degree. The Bachelor of Arts 
program is highly flexible and allows a student to pursue other areas of interest 
with or without a double major. The Bachelor of Science program has a higher 
content of scientific and professional courses. On completion of either bachelor's 
program a student is eligible to apply for a fifth year of specialized study leading 
to the degree of Master of Chemical Engineering. The curriculum is designed so 
that outstanding students interested in careers in research and teaching may 
enter graduate school after either of the bachelor's degrees. 

The Chemical Engineering Department requires 77 semester hours in the 
major for the B.A. degree, prerequisites and laboratory courses included. In 
addition to these requirements, students must also satisfy the distribution re- 
quirements and complete no fewer than 60 semester hours outside the depart- 
mental requirements for a total of at least 137 semester hours. For the B.S. major, 
the department may require up to 104 semester hours, according to the require- 
ments for certification, prerequisites and laboratory courses included. Students 
seeking the B.S. must also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no 
fewer than 33 semester hours outside the departmental requirements for a total 
of at least 137 semester hours. 

Graduate Program. Graduate study in chemical engineering can lead 
either to the Master of Science or the Doctor of Philosophy. University require- 
ments for these degrees are outlined on pages 91 and 92. 

Candidates for the Master of Science degree are required to complete a 
minimum of twenty-four approved semester hours with high standing. They 
must also submit and defend the thesis in an oral examination indicating 
research ability. 

Candidates for the Doctor of Philosophy degree must demonstrate com- 
petence in one foreign language and in the areas of applied mathematics, 
thermodynamics, transport processes, and chemical kinetics and reactor 
design, by passing qualifying examinations, normally during the first year of 
study. They must also complete a minimum of thirty-six approved semester 
hours with high standing and submit a thesis which provides evidence of 
their ability to carry out original research in a specialized area of chemical 
engineering. The thesis must be defended in a public oral examination.

The profession of civil engineering is concerned with the development, 
planning, design, construction, and operation of large facilities and systems. 
These include buildings, bridges, and other structures of various forms; 
transportation systems, water supply systems, and systems for waste disposal 
and pollution control. The planning of new communities and the redevelop- 
ment of existing cities are also within the spectrum of civil engineering activi- 
ties. 

Undergraduate Program. The curriculum is designed to provide a 
sound basis for future professional growth. Two programs are offered, a basic 
program which has considerable strength in structural engineering and an 
environmental option given in collaboration with the Environmental Science 
and Engineering Department. Each is a broad program that includes funda- 
mental courses in mathematics and the engineering sciences and specialized 
courses in structural engineering and mechanics, geotechnical engineering, 
transportation engineering, and environmental engineering. Many advanced 
courses in structural engineering and mechanics and in environmental engi- 
neering may be taken as free electives by students interested in more speciali- 
zation. 

The accredited professional degree in civil engineering is the Bachelor of 
Science in Civil Engineering. A Bachelor of Arts degree with a civil 
engineering major is also available. The B.A. program has less technical 
content than the B.S.C.E. program and hence more flexibility with electives. 

In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students must 
also satisfy the distrubution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 
semester hours for the B.A. and 42 semester hours for the B.S. outside the 
departmental requirements for a total program of at least 129 semester hours 
for the B.A. and 134 for the B.S. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 
50 and 51. Detailed course requirements for each degree may be obtained from 
the departmental office. The program of each student is formulated in 



CIVIL ENGINEERING 157 

consultation with an adviser. 

The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering is a suitable terminal degree 
for students interested in a professional career, but a master's degree is 
highly desirable. The Doctor of Philosophy degree is generally required for a 
career in teaching or in research and development. A student may apply for 
admission to the graduate program in civil engineering after receiving either 
bachelor's degree. 

Preceptorship Program. A limited number of preceptorships are avail- 
able on a competitive basis for civil engineering majors. After completing the 
requirements for a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, a student works 
for one year in the office of, and under the personal guidance of, a civil engi- 
neer who has achieved national or international prominence in the profession. 
The student is enrolled at Rice during the preceptorship year and then returns 
to Rice for a year of graduate study. The program is designed to provide the 
student with an opportunity to experience the professional practice of engi- 
neering at its highest contemporary level. 

Graduate Program. Programs of study in structural engineering and 
structural mechanics can lead to the degrees of Master of Civil Engineering, 
Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy. Special attention is given to 
developing the student's interest in and ability for independent study and 
research in the M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs. 

The requirements for a professional Master of Civil Engineering degree 
are described on pages 94-95. University requirements for other advanced 
degrees are described on pages 91-92. Departmental requirements for the 
M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are as follows: A candidate for the Master of Science 
degree is required to (1) complete at least twenty-one semester hours of 
approved semester courses; (2) complete an acceptable thesis; and (3) pass a 
final oral examination on the thesis. Candidates for the degree of Doctor of 
Philosophy must satisfy the following requirements: (1) complete at least 
forty-eight semester hours of approved courses with high standing; (2) pass a 
comprehensive preliminary examination and a qualifying examination 
designed to test the candidate's knowledge of the field and ability to think in a 
creative manner; (3) complete a thesis which shall constitute an original con- 
tribution to knowledge; (4) pass a final oral examination on the thesis and 
related topics; and (5) demonstrate a reading knowledge of one foreign 
language, usually French, German, or Russian. 

The research interests of the members of the civil engineering faculty lie 
in the areas of structural and foundation dynamics, including earthquake 
engineering, applications of probability theory to civil engineering problems, 
particularly random vibrations, behavior of concrete components and struc- 
tural systems, structural instability, plasticity, optimization of structural 
design, experimental studies of fatigue in steel structural assemblies, and the 
design of innovative structural systems.

electrical engineering should take Mathematics 101, 102, 211, 212 (or the 
corresponding honors courses); Physics 101, 102, 132; Electrical Engineering 
220; Engineering 241; and three courses plus one laboratory chosen from 
Chemistry 101, 102, 107 and Physics 211, 212, 231. Other courses of interest 
are Engineering 101, 142, 200, and 211. Engineering 200 and 211 satisfy the 
B.S. requirement for an engineering science course from another engineering 
department. 

In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students 
seeking the B.A. must also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete 
no fewer than 60 semester hours outside the departmental requirements, for 
a total program of at least 130 semester hours. For the B.S., no fewer than 42 
semester hours outside departmental requirements for a total of 134 semester 
hours are required. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 50 and 51. 

The four-year program in electrical engineering leads to either the B.A. 
or the B.S. in Electrical Engineering. The B.S. program has more technical 
requirements and the degree is accredited by the Engineering Council on 
Professional Development, while the B.A. program allows more flexibility 
with electives. It is possible in either program to satisfy major requirements

of two departments, but only a single degree may be received. Students may 
take a double major combining electrical engineering with physics, mathe- 
matics, economics, languages, or other disciplines. With satisfactory achieve- 
ment, students may qualify for a fifth year of study leading to the professional 
degree of Master of Electrical Engineering. This degree is also available, on a 
part-time or full-time basis, for students other than Rice undergraduates. 

Suggested programs and upper level requirements for the Bachelor of 
Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Master of Electrical Engineering are available 
from the department. These programs are flexible and may be adjusted to suit 
individual interests and needs. 

Qualified students may, upon recommendation of the department and 
approval of the Graduate Council, enter a program leading directly to the 
degree of Doctor of Philosophy after completing the bachelor's degree. 

Graduate Degrees. Requirements of a general nature for advanced de- 
grees are outlined on pages 91-92. Students should consult departmental 
advisers for specific courses of study. 

A candidate for the Master of Science degree in the Electrical Engineering 
Department is required to complete an approved course of study. In addition, 
the candidate is required to complete an approved research program and 
submit an acceptable thesis. A semester or more of supervised teaching is 
required as a valuable part of graduate education. 

The granting of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy presupposes academic 
work of high quality and demonstrated ability to do independent and creative 
research. To be admitted to candidacy, the student must obtain high standing 
in an approved course program and perform satisfactorily on qualifying 
examinations. Normally the candidate completes the requirements for a 
master's degree as part of the Ph.D. program. The candidate must participate 
in a program of supervised teaching. Emphasis is placed on research leading 
to a satisfactory dissertation. Each candidate takes a final oral examination. 
The doctoral candidate should expect to devote a minimum of three academic 
years of graduate study in this program. 

Although a general program of study may be arranged and some attention 
is given to professional preparation in breadth, the program in electrical 
engineering may be described in terms of four major areas of concentration. 

Bioengineering 

Modern medicine and research in health-related sciences make increas- 
ing use of engineering methods and instrumentation. With proper selection of 
electives, the undergraduate program represents an excellent preparation for 
medical school. 

Two main research areas have been developed, namely: (1) cardio- 
pulmonary-renal systems and (2) neurophysiological systems. For a student 
interested in clinical applications, close cooperation with faculty at the Texas 
Medical Center in Houston is possible. At the graduate level, research will be 
generally in one of these two areas while courses are selected to ensure a sound 
engineering background and competence in several areas of the life sciences. 

Circuits, Control, and Communication Systems 

This specialization is composed of three sub-areas: (1) circuits and elec- 
tronics, (2) dynamics and control, and (3) information processing and com- 
munications. These are closely related and generally involve the study of 
systems of devices to process and communicate signals and information, 
rather than the study of the devices themselves. 



162 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 

Computer Science and Engineering 

This program is divided into the following three topics: (1) hardware 
engineering; (2) software engineering; and (3) discrete system modeling. 
Students selecting the computer science and engineering option must com- 
plete a broad program of courses from each of these areas. 

Lasers, Microwaves, and Solid-State Electronics 

This area of concentration permits undergraduate and graduate students 
to study and participate in several specialties, including laser fusion tech- 
nology, optical communication systems, application and development of 
tunable laser devices, semiconductor devices capable of very high frequency 
oscillations and large gain bandwidth modulation, sensitive and fast milli- 
meter and submillimeter detector devices that can be used in astronomy, 
bubble computer memories, and integrated optics and circuits. 

In addition to the regular graduate programs, there are four interdiscipli- 
nary graduate programs designed particularly for those who received their 
previous degree(s) in mathematics, physics, chemistry, or other sciences, in- 
cluding undergraduate engineering science programs, but who have become 
interested in the engineering applications appropriate to a particular field of 
science. These programs are systems theory, solid-state electronics and 
materials science, computer science, and bioengineering.

Degrees Offered: B.A., M.E.E., M.E.S., M.S.. Ph.D. 

The Undergraduate Program. The major in environmental science 
(offered only as a double major with other fields of science or engineering), is 
intended for students wishing academic training oriented toward the solution 
of technical environmental problems, and leads to the B.A. degree. 

General requirements during the first two years include: two years of 
mathematics, two years of chemistry, and one year of physics. Specific courses 
to satisfy these requirements vary somewhat and should be determined in 
consultation with a departmental adviser. For the B.A. degree, a minimum of 
twelve semester hours of environmental science and engineering courses are 
required during the junior and senior years. The undergraduate B.A. double 
major curriculum has been designed with maximum flexibility and minimum 
specific requirements to encourage interdepartmental study with all other 
fields of science and engineering. A list of suggested electives in various fields 
of science, engineering, humanities, and social science is available for students 
desiring additional guidance or specialization. 

The total number of semester hours required for the B.A. with a double 
major will depend on departmental requirements for the other major. 
Generally, however, in addition to the departmental requirements for the 
majors, students must also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete 
no fewer than 60 semester hours outside the departmental requirements, for a 
total program of at least 120 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and 
Majors, pages 50 and 51. 

Undergraduates interested in environmental engineering should contact 
the Department of Civil Engineering for information on their B.S. degree 
program with an environmental option. 

The introductory course. Environmental Science 201, is intended for both 
majors and nonmajors. Humanities majors are encouraged to consider this 
course for science distribution requirements. 

Successful completion of the four-year curriculum leading to the Bachelor 
of Arts with environmental science as part of a double major qualifies the 
student for possible admission to a fifth year of specialized study leading to the 
degree of Master of Environmental Science. Completion of a four-year cur- 
riculum leading to the Bachelor of Science in any field of engineering (civil 
and chemical preferred) qualifies the student for possible admission to a fifth 
year of specialized study leading to the degree of Master of Environmental 
Engineering. These recognized professional degrees in the environmental 
field are differentiated on the basis of science or engineering orientation. Out- 
standing students wishing to pursue careers in teaching and research are 
qualified for graduate study after the B.A., B.S., M.E.S., or M.E.E. degrees. 

The Graduate Program. The graduate program in environmental 
science and environmental engineering are interdepartmental activities and 



ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 169 

lead to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Applicants for 
admission to the environmental science program may hold the baccalaureate 
or master's degree in any of the sciences or mathematics. Applicants for the 
environmental engineering program must hold accredited baccalaureate or 
master's degress in an area of engineering. Although the main research activi- 
ties in the department are concerned with water and wastewater engineering, 
water resource management, and applied water chemistry, the program 
serves as the focal point for university-wide study and research in the broad 
man-environment problem spectrum. Faculty members from the depart- 
ments of Chemical and Electrical Engineering, Architecture, Biology, Geol- 
ogy, Economics, and Psychology participate in this interdisciplinary research. 
Graduate students enrolled in any of these departments and interested in 
environmental problems for thesis topics may use facilities of the Environ- 
mental Science and Engineering Department and are eligible for financial 
assistance in the form of graduate traineeships. 

Candidates for the Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy may pursue 
course programs designed both to complement and supplement their back- 
grounds, through major and minor emphasis areas. However, formal minors 
are not required. University requirements for the advanced degrees are pre- 
sented on pages 91 and 92. 

Graduate students in environmental science or engineering take the ma- 
jority of their courses in other departments. A candidate for the Master of 
Science degree must complete a minimum of eight approved semester courses 
and present and defend, in oral examination, a research thesis. Normally two 
academic years and the intervening summer are required for the degree. 

Candidates for the Doctor of Philosophy must demonstrate their compe- 
tence in three areas through qualifying examinations. The areas of compe- 
tence may correspond to the candidate's areas of major and minor course 
emphasis. The thesis must document and be defensible evidence of the 
candidate's ability to do original research in a specialized phase of environ- 
mental science or engineering.

Assistant Professors Driskill and Skura 

Degrees Offered: B.A., M.A., Ph.D. 

Requirements for a Major in English. A major in English requires 
thirty-six semester hours in English (twelve courses); at least twenty-four 
semester hours (twelve courses) must be courses at or above the 300 level. A 
double major requires thirty semester hours (ten courses) in English, with at 
least eighteen hours (six courses) at the advanced level. All English majors 
must take Masters of English Literature (English 251, 252) as a preparatory 
survey. 

An English major must also take avdanced courses in the following 
categories: (1) six semester hours (two courses) in English literature before 
1800, of which one course must be Chaucer, Shakespeare, or Milton; (2) three 
semester hours (one course) in English literature after 1800; (3) three semester 
hours (one course) in American literature. 

It is recommended that all English majors take some formal instruction in 
English and American history, and, especially if they plan to do graduate 
work, at least six semester hours (two courses) at the advanced level in Latin, 
German, or French. 

In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students 
must also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 
60 semester hours outside the departmental requirements, for a total program 
of at least 120 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 
50 and 51. 



178 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 

Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts. Though no students 
are admitted who seek a terminal M.A. degree, Ph.D. candidates may take the 
master's degree if they wish. They are expected to pass at least twenty-four 
semester hours in English in addition to "Introduction to Graduate Study: 
Bibliography and Criticism" on a pass-fail basis, satisfactorily complete a 
thesis (of approximately fifty pages), and defend the thesis in an oral examina- 
tion. The foreign language requirement is to be satisfied either by the passing 
of a reading test or by the successful completion of one literature course (at 
least three semester hours) offered by a foreign language department at Rice 
or another accredited institution. 

Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. A candidate for 
the doctoral degree must successfully complete (or have completed before 
enrolling) six semester hours in the literature of a foreign language at the 
junior or senior level. The courses may be taken at Rice or another accredited 
institution and must be approved by the departmental graduate committee; if 
possible, the courses should directly relate to the student's period of specializa- 
tion in English or American literature. 

The student must complete a minimum of thirty-six semester hours in 
English. "Introduction to Graduate Study: Bibliography and Criticism" is the 
only course required of all new students. 

Usually in the beginning of the sixth semester students take the prelimi- 
nary examination, which consists of three three-hour examinations in fields 
other than that in which they choose to write their dissertations, and one four- 
hour examination in the field of specialization. A student with adequate course 
coverage may take a more specialized preliminary examination: a six-hour 
examination in a field of specialization and three-hour examinations in (1) a 
literary genre and (2) either a major writer or a related field outside of 
literature. 

The remaining requirements are the completion of a dissertation (pf 
approximately 150 pages) which demonstrates the candidate's capacity for 
independent work in either traditional scholarship or critical interpretation, 
and the passing of a final oral examination on the thesis and related fields. To

Associate Professors Alcover and Carrington 

Assistant Professors Aresu and D.H. Nelson 

Degrees Offered: B.A., M.A., Ph.D. 

French 

Undergraduates may major in French, and there is a graduate program 
in French leading to the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. A 
fully equipped language laboratory is in operation, and laboratory work is an 
important part of the elementary courses in French. 

Undergraduate Majors. A minimum of thirty semester hours (ten 
courses) in advanced French courses is required for the major in French. How- 
ever, only twenty-four semester hours (eight courses) of advanced study are 
required for double majors or area majors. The following courses are required 
unless the student is exempted by his or her major adviser: French 311, 312, 
390, and 391. Students who have taken French 300-400 level courses cannot 
enroll simultaneously or afterwards in French 200-level courses for credit. 

Students are urged to take some work in European history, English, 



FRENCH AND ITALIAN 183 

another European literature, or other courses closely related to French litera- 
ture and culture. All majors and prospective majors must have their programs 
approved by a representative of the department. 

In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students 
must also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 
60 semester hours outside the departmental requirements, for a total program 
of at least 120 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 
50 and 51. 

The French Department offers various courses conducted entirely in 
English which do not count toward a major in French or a double teaching 
major. These are French 303, 304, 315, and 316. They may be accepted for an 
area major when approved by the departments involved. 

An honors program in French is available to qualified students. French 
majors who have taken French 311 and 312 in their freshman or sophomore 
years are eligible to apply for admission to the program. For detailed informa- 
tion they should consult their French instructor or the departmental adviser. 
A $1,500 summer travel scholarship is presented to a Rice student each year 
by the Alliance Francaise. The Rice chapter of Pi Delta Phi, the national 
French honor society, maintains a file of information about jobs abroad, both 
summer and permanent positions. Members of the department are available 
for discussion of the numerous programs of study and travel in France spon- 
sored by both American and French institutions. 

Graduate Programs. Admission to graduate study in French will be 
granted to a limited number of qualified students. A distinguished under- 
graduate record in the study of French literature and a capacity for indepen- 
dent work are considered essential. The award of advanced degrees is not 
based solely on accumulation of credits or compliance with formal require- 
ments. Candidates are expected to attain a wide general knowledge of the 
appropriate history and literature and to demonstrate their command of the 
French language. In most cases two years will be required for the completion 
of work for the degree of Master of Arts. All courses are given in French. 

Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in French: 

1. Completion with high standing of a program approved by the department: 
normally this will include twenty-four semester hours in advanced courses 
plus thesis work (six semester hours) 

2. Satisfactory performance on a reading examination in one language other 
than French approved by the department 

3. Satisfactory performance on preliminary written and oral examinations in 
French on the French authors indicated in a reading list provided 

4. Completion of an acceptable thesis 

5. Satisfactory performance on a final oral examination 

Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in French: 

1. Completion with high standing of a program approved by the department: 
normally this will include fifty-four semester hours (including those re- 
quired for the degree of Master of Arts) plus thesis work (six semester 
hours) 

2. Satisfactory performance on a reading examination in two languages other 
than French approved by the department 

3. Satisfactory performance on a preliminary written and oral examination 
on the authors indicated in a reading list provided, and on the literature, 
culture, and civilization of France. The oral examination may be taken only 
after the successful completion of the written examination. Students have a 



184 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 

choice between passing a preliminary examination in a second field of 
literature or taking one or two courses in a closely related field approved by 
the graduate faculty. If the student chooses to take two courses in such a 
"minor" field, only three semester hours will count toward the require- 
ments for the Ph.D. 
Note: Requirements 2 and 3 must be fulfilled one year before the submission 
of a dissertation. 

4. Completion of a dissertation approved by the department; the dissertation 
is expected to represent an original contribution 

5. Satisfactory performance on a final oral examination on the dissertation 
and related fields 

Note: Regardless of the type of appointment held by the graduate student, he 
or she may be required to undertake research or teaching assignments, 
depending upon the background of the graduate student and the needs of 
the department.

paleontology, and paleoecology. Graduate work in geology is oriented toward 
the theoretical and fundamental aspects of the subject rather than directly 
toward its many applied aspects. 

Requirements for advanced degrees in geology are: 

1. Completion at a high level of an approved program in geology and related 
subjects 

2. Satisfactory performance on a basic examination in geology. In addition, a 
Ph.D. qualifying examination administered by the thesis committee is 
required of all doctoral candidates. 

3. For the Ph.D. degree, demonstration of competence in one approved foreign 
language 

4. Completion for publication of a thesis which represents an original con- 
tribution to the science 

5. Oral defense of the research work and conclusions of the thesis 

6. Satisfactory performance in teaching a laboratory in some basic course 
regardless of type of graduate appointment 

Most graduate students can expect to spend two years beyond the bach-

elor's degree in order to complete requirements for the master's degree and an 
additional two years for the Ph.D. degree. Some students of very high ability 
may be allowed to bypass the master's degree and work directly for the Ph.D.

History 



Professor Drew, Chairman; Professors Garside, Gruber, 

Higginbotham, Hyman, Loewenheim, 

Matusow, Rath, and Vandiver 

Associate Professors Haskell, Stokes, Van Helden, and Wiener 

Assistant Professors Miller and R. J. Smith 

Degrees Offered: B.A., M.A., Ph.D. 

Undergraduate Major. A student majoring in history must take a 
minimum of thirty semester hours (ten courses) in history, of which eighteen 
semester hours (six courses) must be on the advanced level (300's or ^OO's). At 
least six semester hours (two courses) must be taken in American history, and 
at least six semester hours (two courses) in fields other than American history. 
Students are advised to acquaint themselves with humanistic disciplines other 
than history (for example, literature, fine arts, and philosophy), and also with 
social sciences such as political science, sociology, economics, and anthro- 
pology, whose contributions to historical studies are of increasing importance. 
Some foreign language proficiency is recommended for the potential traveler, 
researcher, or graduate student (most graduate schools require a reading 
knowledge of French and German for the Ph.D. degree). 

In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students 
must also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 
semester hours outside the departmental requirements, for a total program of 
at least 120 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 
50 and 51. 

Graduate Study. Graduate students in history are accepted for study 
leading to either the M.A. or Ph.D. Holders of the B.A. degree (or its equiva- 
lent) from an acceptable institution are eligible to apply. The graduate pro- 
gram is designed to train a limited number of carefully selected students. Both 
the M.A. and the Ph.D. degrees are offered in limited areas of American and 
European history. Further information about the fields may be obtained on 
request from the department. 

Graduate fellowships as well as graduate scholarships within the limits of 
available funds are awarded to qualified students with demonstrated ability. 
Fellowships include a stipend and a waiver of tuition; scholarships provide a 



HISTORY 201 

waiver of tuition only. As a part of their training all graduate students are 
expected to render limited services to the department as tutorial instructors, 
as research assistants, or as assistants to the editors oi the Journal of Southern 
History, the Austrian History Yearbook; or The Papers of Jefferson Davis, all of 
which are sponsored by Rice University. 

Requirements for the M.A. Candidates for the M.A. are expected to 
complete a certain amount of formal class or seminar work, usually twenty- 
four semester hours (eight courses); pass a reading examination in one foreign 
language (usually French or German); and write a thesis under the direction 
of an advisory committee of the department headed by a professor having 
special competence in the subject area of the thesis. An oral defense of the 
thesis is also required. Completion of these requirements usually take two 
years. Not more than three years may elapse between the time the student is 
admitted to graduate study and the completion of the degree, unless an exten- 
sion is approved by the departmental graduate committee. An alternate M.A. 
degree is available to doctoral students who fulfill the special requirements 
set by the department. 

Requirements for the Ph.D. Candidates for the Ph.D. degree are ex- 
pected to prepare themselves for a qualifying examination in four fields, at 
least two of which must be in the major area of concentration (either Euro- 
pean or American history). If the major area is European history, one field 
must be in American history; if the major is in American history, one field 
must be in European history. The fourth field may be outside the department 
if approved by the departmental graduate committee. Preparation for this 
qualifying examination (the passing of which qualifies the student for formal 
admission to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree) will normally include course 
work, seminars, directed reading, and a substantial amount of independent 
reading. The examination will usually be oral, though it may be written or 
both written and oral at the discretion of the department. It is given only after 
the student has completed all necessary course and seminar work and passed 
reading examinations in two foreign languages (usually French and German). 
Students should take the qualifying examination before the beginning of their 
sixth semester and must take it by the end of the sixth semester. In addition to 
the foreign language examinations and the qualifying examination, the Ph.D. 
candidate must present a dissertation embodying the results of original re- 
search and defend it in a public oral examination. This dissertation must be 
completed within three calendar years after passing the qualifying examina- 
tion, unless an extension is granted by the departmental graduate committee.

Degrees Offered: B.A., M.A.Ma.Sc, M.A., Ph.D. 

The Undergraduate Program allows students considerable freedom to 
plan a course of study consistent with their particular interests in mathematics 
and its applications. Available courses provide foundations for applications to 
many fields of engineering, physical sciences, life sciences, behavioral and 
social sciences, and computer science. 

Within the flexible framework of university requirements, the program 
consists of three parts: (1) basic courses in mathematics and computer science, 
(2) introductory courses in appropriate areas of mathematical sciences, and (3) 
electives for which major credit is given. 
1. Students normally take eight basic courses, as follows: 

Elementary analysis: Mathematics 101, 102 or honors equivalent 
Differential equations: Mathematics 211 or more advanced introduction 
Multivariable calculus: Mathematics 212 

Linear algebra: Mathematics 355 or Mathematical Sciences 310 
Algebraic structures: Mathematics 356 or 463 or Mathematical Sciences 316 
or 411. 



MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES 209

matics 381 or 382 or approved alternate 

Probability and statistics: Mathematical Sciences 380 or 381 

3. Students also take seven elective courses for credit toward the mathematical 
sciences major, as follows: 

Two additional courses in one of the areas selected above, but not limited to 

the courses listed above 
At least one additional course in mathematics or mathematical sciences 
At least four courses in fields where mathematics may be applied 

In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students must 
also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 semes- 
ter hours outside the departmental requirements, for a total program of at least 
120 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 50 and 51. 

A student contemplating work in mathematical sciences is encouraged to 
contact any member of the department, particularly the members of its under- 
graduate committee, who will help the student explore possible programs 
suited to individual needs and interests. 

The Department of Mathematical Sciences participates in the inter- 
departmental program in managerial studies. More information may be ob- 
tained from the description on page 55. Interested students may consult with the 
departmental adviser for this program. 

The Graduate Program. Admission to graduate study in mathematical 
sciences is open to qualified students holding bachelor's or master's degrees (or 
their equivalent) in engineering, mathematics, or physical, biological, mathe- 
matical, or behavioral sciences. The credentials of each applicant will receive 
individual evaluation by the faculty of the department. An applicant holding 
only a bachelor's degree should submit quantitative and verbal scores from the 
Graduate Record Examination when requesting application forms. 

The graduate program is designed for students seeking the professional 
degree of Master in Applied Mathematical Sciences or the research degrees of 
Master of Arts or Doctor of Philosophy. It normally takes one or two years to 
obtain a master's and three or four years to obtain a Ph.D. degree. A master's 
degree is not a prerequisite for the Ph.D. degree. 

The professional degree emphasizes the applied aspects of the mathemat- 
ical sciences. This degree is intended for persons who plan careers as prac- 
titioners rather than primarily as researchers. Presently this degree empha- 
sizes the following areas, singly or in combination: (1) computer science, (2) 
statistics, (3) operations research, (4) numerical analysis. Further information 
about this degree may be obtained from the department. 

The granting of a research degree presupposes demonstrated ability to do 
advanced original research. Students are encouraged to initiate research activi- 
ties at the earliest possible time in their graduate study. Presently the research 
interests of the faculty are in the following five major areas: (1) computer 
science and numerical analysis, (2) statistics and probability, (3) operations 



210 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 



research and game theory, (4) systems and control theory, (5) mathematical 
models in physical, biological, or behavioral sciences. Further information 
about these areas may be obtained from the department. 

Graduate fellowships, research assistantships, and graduate scholarships 
are available and are awarded on the basis of merit to qualified students. 
Current practice in the department is for most doctoral students of good 
standing to receive some financial aid. As an integral part of their scholastic 
programs, all graduate students are expected to attain some proficiency in 
teaching by engaging in instructional assignments of the department. 

The Master in Applied Mathematical Sciences requires satisfactory 
completion of at least thirty semester hours approved by the department. 

Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree: 

1. Satisfactory completion of at least thirty semester hours (including thesis) at 
the graduate level. Normally five courses must be in mathematical sciences. 
Specific courses of study should be formulated in consultation with the 
student's adviser and must be approved by the department. 

2. An original thesis acceptable to the department; note, however, that success- 
ful performance on the qualifying examination fulfills the master's thesis 
requirement for a student working toward the Ph.D. degree 

3. Satisfactory performance on a public oral examination on the thesis; the pro- 
cedure for the public oral examination is given in the general rules of the 
university 

Requirements for the Ph.D. Degree: 

1. Satisfactory completion of courses of study approved by the department. At 
least two courses outside the department are required. 

2. Satisfactory performance on preliminary and qualifying examinations and 
reviews 

3. Satisfactory completion of two semester courses or a reading examination on 
an approved foreign language 

4. An original thesis acceptable to the department 

5. Satisfactory performance on a final public oral examination on the thesis. 
The procedure is given in the general rules of the university.

Requirements for the Undergraduate Major. It is possible to major in 
mathematics in either the science, engineering, or humanities program. There 
are two major programs. 

1. Regular major. Mathematics 101, 102, or 121, 122 and 21 1,212 or 221, 222 
and at least twenty-four semester hours (eight courses) in courses numbered 



MATHEMATICS 217 

300 or above in the Mathematics Department. A student can receive advanced 
placement credit for Mathematics 101 by achieving a score of 4 or 5 on the AP 
AB level test or for Mathematics 101 and 102byachievingascoreof 4or Sonthe 
BC level test. Students who have had calculus but have not taken the AP test 
may petition the Mathematics Department for a waiver of the calculus require- 
ments for a major in mathematics. 

2. Double major. The requirements for the double major are the same as 
above with the exception that up to nine of the twenty-four semester hours 
numbered 300 or above can be replaced by approved mathematics-related 
courses. 

In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students must 
also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 
semester hours outside the departmental requirements, for a total program of 
at least 120 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 
50 and 51. 

Graduate Program. Admission to graduate study in mathematics will be 
granted to a limited number of students who have indicated ability for advanced 
and original work. Normally one or two years are required after the bachelor's 
degree to obtain an M.A. degree and three or four years to obtain a Ph.D. An 
M.A. is not a prerequisite for the Ph.D. 

A number of graduate scholarships and fellowships are available and will 
be awarded on the basis of merit. As part of the graduate education in mathe- 
matics, each graduate student is normally expected to engage in teaching or 
other instructional duties. Generally less than six hours a week is devoted to 
such duties. 

The Qualifying Examinations. The qualifying examinations in mathe- 
matics consist of two parts: the general examination and the advanced exami- 
nation. 

1. The general examination consists of three parts, covering algebra, 
analysis, and topology, respectively. The examination will be given twice a year, 
in mid-September and in mid-January. A student should take this examination 
after the third semester of graduate study or sooner. A student who fails one or 
more parts of the general examination may, with the approval of the depart- 
mental graduate committee, be allowed to retake the appropriate part(s) at the 
next scheduled examination time. A student generally will not be allowed to 
take any part of the general examination more than two times. 

2. Advanced oral examination. After completing the general examination 
the student should prepare for an advanced oral examination by selecting some 
special field (e.g., homotopy theory, several complex variables, group theory, 
etc.), and submitting the topic to the departmental graduate committee for 
approval. The time of the advanced examination will be scheduled by the 
graduate committee, and will normally be within six to nine months after the 
general examination. A student who fails the advanced examination may, with 
the approval of the graduate committee, be allowed to retake it (on the same, or 
possibly a different topic), but will generally not be allowed to take the advanced 
examination more than two times. 

The Master's Degree. Requirements for candidacy for the Master of Arts 

degree: 

1. Satisfactory completion (grade of 2 or better) of a course of study approved 
by the department and fulfillment of the general rules of the university 
(described on page 91). Transfer of credits from another university will be 
allowed only when approved by both the department and the University 
Graduate Council.

Military Science 



Chairman to be named 
Assistant Professors Duffy and T.M. Adams 

The Department of Military Science is chaired by a U.S. Army officer, 
assisted by officers and noncommissioned officers of the U.S. Army. Training 
in military leadership is emphasized, with instruction being given in subjects 
common to all branches of the Army. 

The four-year Army ROTC course consists of the basic course taken the 
freshman and sophomore years and the advanced course taken the junior and 
senior years. The Army ROTC also offers a two-year program to those students 
with two years of study remaining who did not participate in the normal basic 
course. In the two-year program, the student attends a six-week summer camp, 
which gives credit for the basic Army ROTC course, and enters the advanced 
course the next fall. The advanced course includes a six-week summer camp, 
normally between the junior and senior years, in practical military instruction. 

One-, two-, and three-year scholarships are available on a competitive 
basis to students who participate in the Army ROTC program. Each scholar- 
ship student receives $100 per month with all tuition, fees, books, and equip- 
ment paid by the Army for the period of the scholarship. Nonscholarship 
students receive $100 per month during the advanced course. 



MILITARY SCIENCE 221 

Graduates of this program are commissioned in the various branches of 
the Army based upon the preference of the individual, academic major, demon- 
strated leadership and technical qualifications, and the needs of the service. 

Military science students are permitted to enroll in a university course in 
lieu of the scheduled military science course according to the following semes- 
ter schedule: 

MS I — second semester (spring) 

MS II — first semester (fall) 

MS III — first semester (fall) 

Approval of the university course desired must be obtained from both the 
university and military science faculty advisers. Military science leadership 
laboratory requirements remain in effect although the cadet is enrolled in a 
university course. See the Schedule of Courses Offered available from the 
Registrar's Office for registration data.

Instructors Hanson and Gottschalk 

Degrees Offered: B. Mus./M. Mus. (simultaneously); M. Mus. 

The Shepherd School of Music, committed to the professional training of 
musicians within a broad liberal arts curriculum, offers an integrated program 
of performance, creation, and academic study of music from a combined 
historical/theoretical/practical point of view. 

Close rapport exists between the school and Houston's professional musi- 
cal organizations. The apprenticeship programs of the fourth and fifth years 
are designed to meet both educational and professional goals. 

Degrees Offered. A Master of Music degree is offered in the following 
areas: composition, conducting, music history, performance (orchestral in- 
strument, piano, voice), and theory. The master's degree is awarded after 
successful completion of the requirements, electives, apprenticeships, and 
recitals of a five-year program. Because of the accelerated programs in music 
history and theory and the high selectivity of performance majors and applied 
majors, the five-year program is comparable to other programs requiring a 
four-year bachelor's degree and a two-year professional degree. Six years may 
be required to complete the conducting major. 

Admission to these programs is based upon evaluation of a student's 
achievements in one or more of the degree areas. An audition, a theory evalua- 
tion, and a personal interview are required of each applicant. Admission is 
determined jointly by the Shepherd School faculty and by the Admissions 
Committee of Rice University, which bases its evaluation upon successful 
academic achievements and standard college admission indices. 

Transfer students from other colleges, conservatories, and universities 
may apply for admission. These applicants are evaluated in terms of prior 
preparation, which may reduce the required period of study at Rice. 

Curriculum Design. Students must complete satisfactorily 102 semester 
hours (thirty-four courses) in prescribed music courses, appropriate perfor- 
mance and/or thesis requirements, and apprenticeship. 

They must also complete at least 48 semester hours outside the depart- 
mental requirements for a total program of at least 150 semester hours. Distri- 
bution requirements for music majors are discussed on the next page. All 
M. Mus/B. Mus. programs include (1) the core curriculum and (2) a specialized 
curriculum. 

1. The first five semesters consist of core curriculum courses and their applica- 
tion to a principal instrument. Each semester at least three semester hours 
are taken in each of the following areas of study: applied studies (ear- 
training, sight-singing, rhythm, intonation, phrasing, style, performance 
practice, ensemble techniques); historical studies; individual musicianship 
(principal instrument); theoretical studies; and academic distribution 
courses. The typical course of study for the core curriculum is: 



MUSIC 223 

Firi^t and second semesters: 

Individual musicianship (major instrument): Music 211, 212; 221, 222; 231, 

232; and academic electives (English) 
Third and fourth semesters: 
Individual musicianship; Music 311, 312; 321. 322; 331, 332; and academic 

electives 
Fifth semester: 
Individual musicianship; Music 411, 421, 431; and academic elective 

2. The final two years are devoted to specialized curriculum, in which the 
student concentrates on creativity, performance, or research supported by 
laboratory and performing ensembles, theory and history seminars, and 
professional apprenticeships. Apprenticeships encourage a diversity of 
professional activities as appropriate for the individual. These include 
participation with major or civic orchestras, choirs, or opera theaters; off- 
campus solo and small ensemble performances; conducting apprenticeships 
with professional orchestras, operas, or ballet companies; composing for 
films, television, public schools, and for ensembles in residence; research in 
major national and international libraries; music criticism apprenticeships 
for campus and off-campus newspapers. Specialized studies are engaged by 
the individual student with the approval of the faculty. 
Twelve university academic distribution courses in humanities, social 
sciences, and natural sciences are required for the combination master's/ 
bachelor's music degree. Music courses may not be used to satisfy the humani- 
ties requirement. Selection is made jointly by the student and faculty adviser 
and may be taken consecutively or may be paired to allow for off-campus 
apprenticeships and research projects. Knowledge of at least one foreign 
language is strongly recommended. 

Upon satisfactory completion of the requirements for the Master of Music 
degree with an area major, the five-year student is also awarded the Bachelor 
of Music degree. 

Courses for Nonmajors. Nonmajors will find the following courses de- 
signed for the general student: Music 117, 118; 307, 308; 317, 318; 413; 327, 328: 
151. 152, 153; 154, 155, 156; 157, 158. In addition, other music courses may be 
taken by the nonmajor with the permission of the instructor and approval of the 
dean of the Shepherd School. 

Musical Opportunities. Musical and educational opportunities are 
afforded the student both on campus and in the greater Houston area. A visiting 
lecturer series, a professional concert series, and numerous visiting distin- 
guished musicians contribute to the Shepherd School environment. The 
Houston Symphony Orchestra, Symphony Chorale, Houston Grand Opera, 
Texas Opera Theater, Houston Ballet, as well as the activities of other institu- 
tions of higher learning in the area, provide exceptional opportunities for 
musical experiences. 

Grades. The curriculum of the Shepherd School is a combination under- 
graduate honors and graduate curriculum. Any student who does not meet a 
correspondingly high level of achievement will be subject to warning and music 
probation and possibly to dismissal as a music major. 

Special Examinations: 

a. At the end of each semester an examination will be given in individual 
musicianship over the material studied during the semester. 

b. Keyboard proficiency is required of all degree candidates and may be 
satisfied by examination or by the election of sequential courses. 

c. Sight-reading proficiency examinations on the major instrument are re- 



224 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 

quired at the end of the fourth semester. Students who do not pass this 
examination are required to take remedial work in sight-reading until the 
proficiency level is attained, 
d. Each student must take a qualifying examination during the fifth or sixth 
semester to determine admissibility to the student's preferred major area in 
the specialized curriculum. For performance majors this examination will 
consist of the junior recital and two three-hour examinations (one in music 
history and one in music theory) based on the compositions to be performed 
on the junior recital. The Graduate Record Examination will be adminis- 
tered to all music students at the conclusion of the fifth semester. 

Performance. Students are expected to perform frequently during their 
residence at Rice. Performance majors must present at least three full recitals, 
in the fifth or sixth semester, in the seventh or eight semester, and in the ninth 
or tenth semester. Frequent performance is expected of all students during the 
core curriculum. Composition majors are expected to present full recitals in the 
fourth and fifth years, and conducting majors, in the fifth and sixth years. 
Students are expected to attend both faculty and student recitals. 

Thesis and Comprehensive Graduate Examinations. The master'sde- 
gree for composition, conducting, music history, and theory majors assumes a 
high level of scholarship. A thesis is required of music history and theory 
majors. An original work of extended scope is required of composition majors. 
Conducting majors may present either an extended composition or a thesis. 

Comprehensive graduate examinations, both written and oral, are required 
of all majors in composition, conducting, music history, and theory. Comprehen- 
sive graduate examinations are not required of performance majors. Final 
recitals are considered the equivalent of comprehensive graduate examinations 
for performance majors. 

Large Ensembles. All students are required to participate in one of the 
school's large ensembles each semester during the five-year program. Fresh- 
men may be exempt from this requirement at the requestof their artist teacher 
and with the approval of the dean. 

Warning, Music School Probation, Discontinuation. A student perform- 
ing unsatisfactorily in one or more courses at the midterm period may be 
placed on warning. If at the end of the semester significant improvement has 
not been shown, the student may be placed on music probation. A student may 
be placed directly on probation without having been placed on warning. Pro- 
bation is a more serious status than warning, and it signifies that the student's 
work has been sufficiently unsatisfactory to preclude graduation unless 
significant improvement is achieved promptly. A student on music probation 
may be absent from class only for extraordinary reasons and may not represent 
the school in any public function not directly a part of a degree program. 

If at the conclusion of the probationary period the student has not shown 
marked improvement, the student may be discontinued from the school as a 
music major. Any student discontinued as a music major but not on academic 
suspension may elect a major elsewhere in the university, subject to the require- 
ments of the major department or school. 

The Shepherd School of Music opened its doors to its first freshman class in 
1975. This catalog describes courses offered in 1978-1979 and gives an overview 
of courses to be offered in subsequent years. For a copy of the complete curricu-

Naval Science 



Professor A. E. Nelson, Chairman 

Associate Professor B. B. Williams 

Assistant Professors C. L. Brown and A. A. Desantis 

The Department of Naval Science is administered by a senior U.S. naval 
officer, assisted by officers and men of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. The 
purpose of the Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps is to train highly select 
young men and women for naval service as commissioned officers of the Navy 
and Marine Corps. 

Students taking five-year courses are considered eligible for enrollment at 
the beginning of their first or second year. In view of the heavy academic loads 
for fifth-year engineering students and scheduling difficulties, all students are 
encouraged to enroll in the regular manner during freshman matriculation. 
Students may voluntarily disenroll any time during the first two years of the 
program, without incurring further service obligation. 

There are two categories of NROTC students: (1) scholarship; (2) non- 
scholarship. 

Scholarship Students. A scholarship NROTC student is appointed a 
midshipman, U.S. Naval Reserve, on a nationwide competitive basis and re- 
ceives retainer pay at the rate of $100 per month for a maximum of four 
academic years, with all tuition, fees, books, and equipment paid for by the 
government. He is required to complete prescribed naval science courses, 
participate in drills and three summer cruises, and, upon graduation with a 
baccalaureate or advanced degree, to accept a regular commission as ensign in 
the U.S. Navy or second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. 



NAVAL SCIENCE 231 

Nonscholarship Students. Nonscholarship students are civilian college 
students who enter into a mutual contract with the Secretary of the Navy in 
which they take naval science courses and participate in drills and one summer 
training cruise. In return, the Navy pays the student $100 per month during 
the junior and senior years, and offers a reserve commission in the Navy or 
Marine Corps upon graduation. Nonscholarship students may, on a local, 
competitive basis, be recommended for scholarship status by the professor of 
naval science. 

Two- Year Program Students. Interested students may, in their sopho- 
more year (junior year for five-year students at Rice), apply for the two-year 
NROTC Program. A nationwide competition will initially determine their 
scholarship or nonscholarship status (see above). Following selection, appli- 
cants attend a six-week Naval Science Institute (NSI) at Newport, Rhode 
Island, during July and August, which is designed to "make up" the first two 
years of the regular NROTC program. Successful completion of NSI qualifies 
the student for enrollment in the advanced NROTC on an equal footing with 
the four-year students. About 15% of the nonscholarship students finishing 
NSI may be offered a full NROTC scholarship at that time. Additional scholar- 
ships may be awarded to the others from time to time upon the recommenda- 
tion of the professor of naval science at Rice. 

U.S. Marine Corps. NROTC students, either scholarship or nonscholar- 
ship, may apply for the Marine Corps program. Such selectees are referred to 
as Marine Corps option students and attend separate classes under a Marine 
officer instructor during their junior and senior years.

Majors in Political Science. Students majoring in political science are 
required to complete thirty semester hours (ten courses) in the field. All majors 
must also complete six semester hours (two courses) of advanced work, selected 
with the advice of the department in any of the following fields: anthropology. 



240 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 

behavioral science, economics, history, philosophy, psychology, or sociology. 

Double majors in one of the above fields may automatically substitute six 
semester hours (two courses) in upper level courses in their second field for six of 
the required thirty semester hours in political science courses. Double majors 
whose second major is legal studies or managerial studies may automatically 
substitute three hours (one course). Double majors whose second field is not 
listed above normally will be required to take thirty semester hours (ten 
courses) in political science. They may petition for substitution of courses in 
other fields, but such substitutions will be permitted only when the course to be 
substituted has a close and significant relationship to political science. 

Within the major each student is encouraged to take a program of courses 
that provides both a broad understanding of the field and a specialized knowl- 
edge of some portion of it. Specific distribution requirements are minimal. 
However, students are required to take at least one course in any four of the six 
areas listed below: 

(1) American politics (4) International relations 

(2) Comparative government (5) Normative political theory 

(3) Law (6) Empirical theory and methodology 

Political Science 209, 210, 210H, 211, and 212 constitute the introductory 
courses in normative theory, American politics, international relations, and 
comparative government, respectively. Prospective majors are encouraged to 
take one or more of these courses, preferably in their freshman or sophomore 
years. However, none are required of majors, except that Political Science 209 
and 210 (or 210H) together remain the courses that meet the Texas state 
licensing requirements in political science for teachers. It should also be noted 
that no more than three of the above introductory courses may be counted 
toward the major. 

In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students must 
also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 
semester hours outside the departmental requirements, for a total program of 
at least 120 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 
50 and 51. 

Honors Program. Political science majors who qualify may enter an hon- 
ors program. The program will consist of (1) a one-semester reading course in 
the junior year (taken either term) which will serve as the basis for drawing up a 
prospectus for the senior essay, plus (2) the writing of the essay, normally in the 
senior year. The nine semester hours completed will count toward the thirty 
semester hours required for the major and will be counted for purposes of 
distribution in the appropriate area within the major. Alternatively, instead of 
writing the essay, a student may take six semester hours in graduate level 
courses. 

Admission to the honors program will, as a rule, occur in the spring of the 
sophomore year at the time majors are selected. Others may be admitted 
during the junior year. Double majors are eligible for the program. Admission 
requires the approval of the departmental director of undergraduate studies, 
Mr. Cuthbertson. 

Program in Managerial Studies. The Department of Political Science 
participates in the interdepartmental program in managerial studies. More 
information on the program may be obtained from the program description 
given on pages 55 and 109. The departmental adviser for this program is 
Mr.'Cuthbertson. 

Graduate Program. The Department of Political Science offers a grad- 
uate program leading to the Ph.D. The student is expected to complete forty- 



POLITICAL SCIENCE 241 

eight semester hours in advanced courses or seminars prior to candidacy and to 
present a dissertation displaying original research. Normally the student will 
take the core course and one other seminar or course in American government, 
comparative government, and international relations, plus a two-semester 
course in scope and methods. The student will also be expected to have some 
background in statistical analysis and in traditional political theory prior to 
candidacy. The student is expected to take comprehensive written examina- 
tions in two of the three major fields (American government, comparative 
government, and international relations)afterthecompletionof(l) course work 
in the department, (2) two courses in a minor field outside political science, and 
(3) the language requirement. The language requirement may be fulfilled 
through (a) satisfactory language skills in two foreign languages, (b) one lan- 
guage and advanced course in statistics, or (c) high level of skill in one language 
sufficient to use it in advanced research. The language program and minor of 
the individual student should be decided in consultation with the faculty 
adviser. A limited master's program is also offered by the department.

erable latitude in pursuing substantive interests, while ensuring a basic famil- 
iarity with theoretical approaches and issues of methodology. Majors in sociol- 
ogy are not required to take a foreign language; those planning graduate 
study, however, should be aware that many graduate departments of sociology 
require demonstrated comeptence in at least one foreign language. A min- 
imum of twenty-four semester hours (eight courses) in sociology must be 
passed, of which at least eighteen semester hours (six courses) must be at the 
advanced level. In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, 
students must also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete at least 
60 semester hours outside the departmental requirements for a total pro- 
gram of at least 120 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, 
pages 50 and 51. 

Requirements for the major in sociology are: (1) Sociology 203; (2) at least 
one of the two courses emphasizing theoretical apporaches: Sociology 316, 353; 
(3) Sociology 421 and 423; and (4) at least fifteen semester hours (five courses) 
in the substantive areas of sociological specialization. A statistics course such 
as Mathematical Sciences 221, 280, 301, 380, 480, or 481 may be iised as one of 
these. 

All sociology courses listed are regularly offered by the present faculty, 
although not necessarily every year. Additional courses may be offered with 
the addtion of new faculty or variations in present course assignements; simi- 
larly, some courses may be discontinued from the regular offerings. It is the 
responsibility of the student to consult the listing of university distribution 
requirements before registering and to be certain to satisfy all the require- 
ments for his or her degree. The registration of every sociology major must be 
signed by a departmental adviser. 

The Honors Program in Sociology. The honors program is designed (1) 
to provide undergraduates whose primary concentration is in the field of 
sociology with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the sociologi- 
cal perspective through a two-semester program of directed independent 
research and writing, and (2) to provide an opportunity for the recognition of 
undergraduates who have demonstrated unusual competence in sociology and 
capacity for sustained independent research. 

To be eligible for the program, a student must have maintained a 2 
average in at least four sociology courses beyond the introductory level. 
During the first semester of the junior year, students who meet this require- 
ment are invited to submit, no later than two weeks prior to registration for the 
spring semester, a description of their proposed research project to the Under- 
graduate Honors Committee (Professor Chandler Davidson, chairman). This 
committee, in consultation with the candidate, will evaluate the proposal in 



SOCIOLOGY 253 

terms of both its feasibility and its sociological significance. Upon acceptance 
into the program, the student will be assigned a faculty adviser who will 
supervise the student's independent research and the selection of further 
courses relevant to the project. It is expected that all honors candidates will 
have completed Sociology 421 and 423 before beginning their second semester 
of honors research. 

Honor students will register for two successive semesters of directed 
honors research (Sociology 492, 493). The first semester will normally be de- 
voted to a review of the relevant literature and the preparation of a detailed 
outline of the planned research. The research itself will normally be carried 
out during the second semester and written up as a completed honors thesis by 
the end of that period. 

The thesis will be read and evaluated by two other faculty members in 
addition to the student's primary adviser, followed by an oral examination 
open to the public. These three faculty members will share responsibility for 
determining departmental honors, based on the student's performance in the 
program as a whole.
